ORGON

Tartuffe · Molière

Ah! If you'd seen him, as I saw him first, you would have loved him just as much as I. He came to church each day, with contrite mien, kneeled, on both knees, right opposite my place, and drew the eyes of all the congregation, to watch the fervour of his prayers to heaven; with deep-drawn sighs and great ejaculations, he humbly kissed the earth at every moment; and when I left the church, he ran before me to give me holy water at the door.
