And as for my reputation, my glory, I have sacrificed them, and it has cost me little.... obliged to flee the Observatory, I saw the Academy of Sciences delivered to the government of the sans-culottes.
At bilang para sa aking mabuting pangalan, ang aking kaluwalhatian, ako may alay ng kanila, at ito ay may halaga sa akin kaunti.... nagpapasalamat sa umiwas ang obserbatoryo, Nakita ko ang Academy of Sciences inihatid sa gobyerno ng walang-culottes.
