But this man’s words are spirit itself, and burn their niche in Time, to last as long as that will. Take two of them: “Soldiers, forty centuries look down upon you!” and again, “Behold the sun of Austerlitz!” When you speak, speak thus to men; such words are deeds; and come not as from one who beateth the air to the pitchpipe of the tibicen Ciceronical, but as the bullet to its butt; speak swordpoints, that press between the joints and marrow.
1891, Charles A. Ward, “Napoleonic Rule”, in Oracles of Nostradamus, page 251He had a very pleasant smile, had old Thomas Richardson, and a gracious way of performing his ciceronical duties. It was plainly a labor of love, due to the old mansion and the master who had made it famous.
