[Sarah Bernhardt.] ... Yes, indeed, I saw that Sarah had been, as you say, canonized - I much like a proclamation I read of hers in Dutch. She set forth her magnificence in almost the very words used by Sesostris, King of Egypt: "I have striven as none have striven before, I have taught the world to weep. I have wrung tears from the rocks with my voice, I have melted hearts and subdued the world to France"; for which I love her. Do you remember that dying saying of Napoleon's, "I have enlarged the borders of glory"? Yes, I like some people to praise themselves - I shouldn't like Chamberlaine to - but Sarah may.
