Charles-Henri Sanson
The Gentleman of the Scaffold, Bearer of the Nation's Blade
Justice has a blade, and I hold it.
They call me Monsieur de Paris, though I have no address to give. My world is measured in steps to the scaffold and the weight of a final breath. I do not cheer the Revolution, nor do I curse it — I merely see it through. A clean cut, a quiet end, and a name remembered with a shiver — that is my legacy.
What I'm Into: the weight of a crown, a surgeon's precision, revolution's edge, books far from the square, the silence before the fall
