A student is writing an essay about how writers of the late 1700s responded to the French Revolution and wants to include two pieces of textual evidence that show closely aligned attitudes toward the revolution. The student has selected the following quotation, adapted from Helen Maria Williams’s 1791 poem “A Farewell, for Two Years, to England”:

In new-born majesty [France] seems to rise,
While sudden from the land oppression flies.
So, at the solemn hour of Nature’s birth,
When brooding darkness veil’d the beauteous earth,
Heaven’s awful mandate pierc’d the solid night,
“Let there be light,” it said, “and there was light!”

Which quotation from another prominent writer of the same period would be most effective for the student to include along with the quotation from Williams’s poem?

“[Liberty] scorns to distain / Her righteous cause with carnage, and resigns / To Fraud and Anarchy the infuriate crowd.” (Charlotte Smith)

“Let human nature, conscious of its own infirmities, humbly solicit the protection of Omnipotence against the arrogance of human Reason, whenever, proud of her own supremacy, she presumes to pass the interdicted bounds prescribed to her finite powers.” (Jane West)

“Reason has, at last, shown her captivating face, beaming with benevolence; and it will be impossible for the dark hand of despotism again to obscure its radiance.” (Mary Wollstonecraft)

“The age of chivalry is gone. That of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded; and the glory of Europe is extinguished forever.” (Edmund Burke)
