At the conclusion of the spectacle, thousands more await the ‘grand homme’ (great man / big man) outside the theater. A genuine social mix with a strong popular character, the crowd, as witnesses will later recall, is moved by “explosions of joy, frenzy, enthusiasm, collective delirium.” Individuals mount the philosopher’s carriage to get a better look at the man, the supplicants strive to touch him. “as he were a saint.” “Long live the defender of Calas!” The coach fades into the night, gilded by the reflections of torchlight, leaving behind a penumbra of immortality. In a stroke worthy of no other, Francois Marie Arouet, Voltaire, has attended his own apotheosis. ~ Page 4 Introduction
