vivelareine:

I know that I have never before experienced such enthusiasm. I was totally amazed to find myself in tears and to see everyone else in the same state…. the king seemed truly moved by this beautiful moment… Our king attired with all the brilliance of royalty, on the true throne, was a sight that was so impressive it is difficult to describe.

–the duc de Croÿ on the coronation of Louis XVI in June 1775 [translation: Alison Johnson, Louis XVI and the French Revolution]
