Modern Les Amis de L’ABC- Enjolras
Enjolras was a charming young man, who was capable of being terrible. He was angelically handsome. He was a savage Antinous. He was both thinker and man of action, a soldier of democracy in the short term and at the same time a priest of the ideal rising above the contemporary movement. His eyes were deep, his lids a little red, his lower lip was thick and easily became disdainful, his brow was lofty. He had but one passion— the right; but one thought—to overthrow the obstacle. He chastely dropped his eyes before everything which was not the Republic. He was the marble lover of liberty.
