conversations.value: Danton's Death
  Georges Danton had himself created the Terror. In the critical summer of 1793 he had held France together, but the price of national unity was the September massacres of royalist sympathizers, carried out by the Committee of Public Safety, which he himself set up. Now, sick of bloodshed, Danton turns against his creature. The play tells of his half-hearted protest and death.
  DANTON. Look at the pretty lady. How cunningly she deals her cards. Yes, she really has the knack. They say she always gives her husband a heart and the others—well, her other suits. You women could make us fall in love with a lie.

conversations.value: CAMILLE. Lucile, your kisses breed like imagination on my lips. Every kiss becomes a dream; then my eyes close and shut it safely in.
  CAMILLE. That's you, this is me. So far so good... Here's my hand.—Now I remember. Oh, Danton, it was horrible.
  CAMILLE. I was half awake, half dreaming. Then the ceiling vanished and the moon came down, closer and closer, till I could hold it in my arms. The sky with all its lights had sunk right down—I heaved against it, I fumbled with the stars, I reeled like a drowning man under a layer of ice. It was terrifying, Danton.
  Listen, Camille, you make me laugh with your long stone coat-front and that iron mask in front of your face. Can't you bend down to me? Where are your arms? I'll tempt you down, dear little bird.
  DANTON. I shall be leaving everything in a horrible mess. Nobody understands the least thing about government. It might still work out if I left Robespierre my whores and Couthon my legs.

conversations.value: The first two of these scenes are effective, and may easily be fitted into the play, after the tavern scene where Woyzeck appears with blood on his hands; I have not put them in because I think they are not strictly necessary to the action. The third, obviously no more than a note, raises the interesting question: did Büchner plan to write a trial scene?
