Time heals.

The daybreak came with the slithers of sunrise piercing the room.

There too was Marie Antoinette’s sweet whispered voice.

“Mélanie, je savais que mon esclavage avec tristesse prendrait fin avec le temps»

Au cours de ces deux premières années d'assignation à résidence au palais des Tuileries à Paris, loin de mon cher Versailles me paraissait interminable, je rendais visite à mes souvenirs de nos moments ensemble. C'était ma façon de me réveiller et de dormir sans peur.” Marie whispered holding Melanie’s hand.

{“Melanie, my slavery in sadness I knew would come to an end with time”

During those first two years of house arrest at Tuileries Palace in Paris away from my beloved Versailles seemed endless, I would visit my memories of our times together. This was my way of waking and sleeping without fear.”} Marie whispered holding Melanie’s hand.

“Seul le temps pourrait guérir mon passé et seul le temps a guéri toute douleur.

Ne crains pas la douleur d’aujourd’hui. Le temps seul guérira ma soeur.

Séchez-vous les yeux et gardez notre souvenir de ces jours merveilleux à Versailles alors que nous jouions et rions.”

{“Only time could heal my past and only time has healed all pain.

Fear not today’s pain. Time alone will heal it my sister.

Dry your eyes and hold our memories of those wonderful days in Versailles as we played and laughed.”}
