"Yes ! Long live the Revolution ! Always
! Still !
But I'm not fooled! I've never been fooled! I say: Long live the Revolution! As I would say: Long live Destruction! Long live Atonement! Long live Punishment! Long live
death!
Not only would I be happy to be a victim, but I would not hate to be an executioner, - to feel the Revolution in two
ways!
We all have the Republican spirit in our veins, like pox in our bones. We are Democratized and Syphilized." This leaflet is one of the rare detached sheets from the manuscript of the book on Belgium acquired in 1896 by the Viscount of Lovenjoul, now in the Library of the Institute. It was published in 1951 in Pauvre Belgique, and reprinted in OEuvres complètes (Bibl. de la Pléiade, ed. Claude Pichois, vol. II, p. 961)| see also La Belgique déshabillée (ed. André Guyaux, p. 317). Walter Benjamin saw it as a veritable "metaphysics of the provocateur."
