Excerpt from Oeuvres Compl???tes de Edgar Quinet: Prom???th???e; Napol???on; Les Esclaves Prom???th???e s'est r???volt??? contre le pouvoir des Dieux ???tablis; il a cr?????? l'humanit??? malgr??? eux; il leur a d???rob??? le feu sacr???. Les divinit???s pa???ennes l'enchainent, sans le soumettre. Sur le Cau case, il proph???tise leur chute; il attend le Dieu nouveau qui, en les renversant, viendra le d???livrer. D'autre part, au nom du culte menac???, Jupiter fait serment que le blasph???mateur restera ??? jamais encha???n??? sur le rocher. Entre ces serments oppos???s, entre le proph???te de l'avenir et le Dieu du pass???, quelle conciliation pr???sentait le paganisme? Aucune. Tant que la famille des Olym piens n'est point renvers???e, d'o??? peut venir le salut de celui qui la renie? Il faudrait, pour la d???livrance de Prom???th???e, qu'il ah jur???t sa proph???tie, ou que Jupiter d???ment???t sa divinit???; c'est - ??? dire, que l'un ou l'autre de ces caract???res cess???t d'???tre ce qu'il est en effet. Tant que le Dieu nouveau ne para???t pas, le supplice du Caucase n'a aucune raison de finir; le Christ, en d???truisant Jupiter, est le seul r???dempteur possible de Prom???th???e.
