“The besieged lacked neither courage nor perfidy. One night, they easily broke through the prince bishop’s reputedly airtight defenses, slipped into the sleeping camp and, after cutting a few throats, kidnapped a young drummer whose insolence was proverbial. After several days, only his head reappeared, planted on a pitchfork above the Bisping Gate. The impudent’s swift tongue had been nailed down for good and his frozen grin was a silent reminder to all the soldiers that the affair they were engaged in would be devoid of any mercy.”

“The gatekeepers had been sidelined and now everyone could read the holy scriptures, without being kept away from passages deemed scabrous, contrary to doctrine or simply too dangerous for the uninitiated. Worse still: everyone was free to interpret the Book as they wished and to publish their opinion to anyone who would listen.”

“Such hysteria had to be nipped in the bud: unfrightened and unrepentant, they had taunted the soldiers sent to seize them and such was the strength of their faith that they even convinced their jailers to strip and join them. At their trial, they called their judges “leeches” and then proudly went to their deaths.”

“The world – and thought – were expanding: new ideas, each more disturbing than the last, were circulating out of control. Their certainties, reinforced by an age-old monopoly of orthodoxy, suddenly shaken by the ever more powerful groundswells of a burgeoning humanism, the secular and regular arms joined forces once again to counter deviance in all its forms and purge the social body of these ferments by subduing those who were their most virulent sources through the most extraordinary act of faith: purification by fire.”

“As they wandered like hungry specters in the uncertain landscape of the devastated glacis, they saw slowly emerge from the acrid mists a rider on an ebony horse, as beautiful and imposing as a pagan statue, and they knew that there would be no help and that their emaciated bodies were destined to soon litter this nameless place.”

“The Lord was sending them a sign terrible and magnificent to show his approval and announce to all that his divine fire would illuminate the faithful and punish their enemies in a deluge of flames, as the sun was now no longer single, but triple and the entire firmament of clouds was in flames, bathing the assembled witnesses in a miraculous glow. The time had come at last. ”

“The population, possessed by a feverish mixture of anguish and relief, poured into the streets, and indulged in complete, senseless abandon, stripping themselves naked and animated by a jig which seized the exalted bodies and distorted them in a disordered mass of demeaning positions.”

“Tales of terrifying encounters were spread from town to town, told in lowered voices so as not to frighten the children, like that of the peasant attacked by a horned beast on a deserted road one winter evening while returning from the market. The man had survived this disconcerting attack, but his ordeal had rendered him mute and those who had come to his aid were reduced to feverish conjectures, supported by the insane shape of his wounds, on the nature of the entity which had assaulted.”
