Fear
All Resolutions
Fear! which conjures up visions of either relatives risen from the grave, wrapped in their shroud, or werewolves, spirits, and monsters...
(Montaigne)
(Facing p. 281.)
Description:
Depiction of a collection of eerie, dreamlike, and fear-inducing visions, including disproportionate hooded skulls smirking in a graveyard, a man summoned to a sword duel, a lecherous man imposing himself on a woman in her boudoir, a soldier at war, and a tooth extraction.
The caption reads in the original French: La peur ! qui représente tantost les bisaïeuls sortis du tombeau enveloppez de leur suaire, tantost des loups-garous, des lutins et des chimères... (Montaigne).
