Notes

Quid evenit? — "What happened?" / "What has come to pass?" Latin. ↩
"Love and hope, which are opposites, always agitate us. We are young and bold." Latin. ↩
From the Dies Irae (medieval Catholic requiem hymn): "Tearful is that day / when from the ashes / shall rise..." (lacrimosa dies illa, / qua resurget ex favilla). ↩
Dies Irae continued: "the guilty man, to be judged... spare him therefore, merciful God" (pie ergo parce, Deus — Marie writes "mie" for "pie," her own transcription error). ↩
