AB  - The third Memorandum was written during a journey to Caen, where Barbey experienced a combination of pleasure in rediscovering the city and the bitter realization of its decline. But, make no mistake, this disappointing homecoming was as much feared as hoped for, since the irreversible damage the diarist observes provides tangible proof—seen in the desecration of the urban landscape—that the Revolution plunged France into irrevocable decadence.
