And yet, almost without thinking of it, I have made a new one. Every one believes that I, my head on my pillow, have planned this fine institution ; but it is not so. God has brought about Saint-Cyr by degrees. If I had made a plan, I should have thought of the worries of execution, the difficulties, the details. I should have feared them; I should have said : ' All this is far beyond me ; ' courage would have failed me. Much compassion for indigent nobility, be- cause I have been orphaned and ...poor myself, and knowledge of such a life, made me desire to assist it in my lifetime. But, while planning to do the good I could, I never dreamed of doing it after my death. That was a second thought, born of the first. May this establishment last as long as France itself, and France as long as the world ! Nothing is dearer to me than my children of Saint-Cyr ; I love their very dust. I offer myself, and all my attendants to serve them ; I have no reluctance to be their servant if my service will teach them to do without that of others.
