:55:01
before talking...
:55:03
of the object of today's
gathering...
:55:06
and I'm sure these feelings...
:55:09
will be shared by you...
:55:12
allow me then...
:55:15
to pay tribute to the Public
Services...
:55:20
the Government...
:55:22
the Monarch...
:55:23
gentlemen, our Sovereign...
:55:26
I should stand back.
:55:27
Why?
:55:28
I could be seen.
:55:29
I'd have some explaining to do,
with my reputation...
:55:32
- You exaggerate!
- No, it really is appalling.
:55:37
From a certain point of view...
:55:39
it's quite justified.
:55:41
How?
:55:42
Don't you know of tormented
souls?
:55:44
They need dreams and action and
the purest of passion.
:55:49
And so we throw ourselves into
fancies...
:55:53
and madness.
:56:00
We poor women don't have such
distractions.
:56:03
They're sad indeed, if they bring
no joy.
:56:07
Can it ever be found?
:56:09
Yes.
:56:11
You find it one day.
:56:14
You find it when you thought it
lost.
:56:16
Then new horizons open.
:56:18
You confide everything in the
other...
:56:21
sacrifice everything.
:56:23
There's no talk, just intuition.
:56:26
It's the person you've dreamt of.
:56:29
However, you don't dare believe it.
:56:32
You're dazzled as if coming from
shadows...
:56:35
into the light.
:56:40
Let's say it plainly...
:56:42
no place is more patriotic than
the countryside...
:56:46
more devoted to the civil cause...
:56:48
in a word, more intelligent.
:56:50
I don't mean, gentlemen...
:56:53
that superficial intelligence...
:56:55
that vainly adorns the idle mind...
:56:59
but that deep and moderate
intelligence...
