The
brightness
of
the
morning
was
magical
.
Moscow
seen
from
the
Poklónny
Hill
lay
spaciously
spread
out
with
her
river
,
her
gardens
,
and
her
churches
,
and
she
seemed
to
be
living
her
usual
life
,
her
cupolas
glittering
like
stars
in
the
sunlight
.
The
view
of
the
strange
city
with
its
peculiar
architecture
,
such
as
he
had
never
seen
before
,
filled
Napoleon
with
the
rather
envious
and
uneasy
curiosity
men
feel
when
they
see
an
alien
form
of
life
that
has
no
knowledge
of
them
.
This
city
was
evidently
living
with
the
full
force
of
its
own
life
.
By
the
indefinite
signs
which
,
even
at
a
distance
,
distinguish
a
living
body
from
a
dead
one
,
Napoleon
from
the
Poklónny
Hill
perceived
the
throb
of
life
in
the
town
and
felt
,
as
it
were
,
the
breathing
of
that
great
and
beautiful
body
.
Every
Russian
looking
at
Moscow
feels
her
to
be
a
mother
;
every
foreigner
who
sees
her
,
even
if
ignorant
of
her
significance
as
the
mother
city
,
must
feel
her
feminine
character
,
and
Napoleon
felt
it
.

said
he
,
and
dismounting
he
ordered
a
plan
of
Moscow
to
be
spread
out
before
him
,
and
summoned
Lelorgne
d'Ideville
,
the
interpreter
.
*
"
That
Asiatic
city
of
the
innumerable
churches
,
holy
Moscow
!
Here
it
is
then
at
last
,
that
famous
city
.
It
was
high

A
town
captured
by
the
enemy
is
like
a
maid
who
has
lost
her
honor
,
"
thought
he
(
he
had
said
so
to
Túchkov
at
Smolénsk
)
.
From
that
point
of
view
he
gazed
at
the
Oriental
beauty
he
had
not
seen
before
.
It
seemed
strange
to
him
that
his
long-felt
wish
,
which
had
seemed
unattainable
,
had
at
last
been
realized
.
In
the
clear
morning
light
he
gazed
now
at
the
city
and
now
at
the
plan
,
considering
its
details
,
and
the
assurance
of
possessing
it
agitated
and
awed
him
.
"
But
could
it
be
otherwise
?
"
he
thought
.
"
Here
is
this
capital
at
my
feet
.
Where
is
Alexander
now
,
and
of
what
is
he
thinking
?
A
strange
,
beautiful
,
and
majestic
city
;
and
a
strange
and
majestic
moment
!
In
what
light
must
I
appear
to
them
!
"
thought
he
,
thinking
of
his
troops
.
"
Here
she
is
,
the
reward
for
all
those
fainthearted
men
,
"
he
reflected
,
glancing
at
those
near
him
and
at
the
troops
who
were
approaching
and
forming
up
.
"
One
word
from
me
,
one
movement
of
my
hand
,
and
that
ancient
capital
of
the
Tsars
would
perish
.
But
my
clemency
is
always
ready
to
descend
upon
the
vanquished
.
I
must
be
magnanimous
and
truly
great
.
But
no
,
it
ca
n't
be
true
that
I
am
in
Moscow
,
"
he
suddenly
thought
.
"
Yet
here
she
is
lying
at
my
feet
,
with
her
golden
domes
and
crosses
scintillating
and
twinkling
in
the
sunshine
.
But
I
shall
spare
her
.
On
the
ancient
monuments
of
barbarism
and
despotism
I
will
inscribe
great
words
of
justice
and
mercy
...
It
is
just
this
which
Alexander
will
feel
most
painfully
,
I
know
him
.
"
(
It
seemed
to
Napoleon
that
the
chief
import
of
what
was
taking
place
lay
in
the
personal
struggle
between
himself
and
Alexander
.
)
"
From
the
height
of
the
Krémlin
--
yes
,
there
is
the
Krémlin
,
yes
--
I
will
give
them
just
laws
;
I
will
teach
them
the
meaning
of
true
civilization
,
I
will
make
generations
of
boyars
remember
their
conqueror
with
love
.
I
will
tell
the
deputation
that
I
did
not
,
and
do
not
,
desire
war
,
that
I
have
waged
war
only
against
the
false
policy
of
their
court
;
that
I
love
and
respect
Alexander
and
that
in
Moscow
I
will
accept
terms
of
peace
worthy
of
myself
and
of
my
people
.
I
do
not
wish
to
utilize
the
fortunes
of
war
to
humiliate
an
honored
monarch
.
'
Boyars
,
'
I
will
say
to
them
,
'
I
do
not
desire
war
,
I
desire
the
peace
and
welfare
of
all
my
subjects
.
'
However
,
I
know
their
presence
will
inspire
me
,
and
I
shall
speak
to
them
as
I
always
do
:
clearly
,
impressively
,
and
majestically
.
But
can
it
be
true
that
I
am
in
Moscow
?
Yes
,
there
she
lies
.
