Le Comte de Monte-Cristo Poster
Mercédès jeta un cri qui fit jaillir deux larmes des paupières de Monte-Cristo, mais ces deux larmes disparurent presque aussitôt, car sans doute Dieu avait envoyé quelque ange pour les recueillir, bien autrement précieuses qu'elles étaient aux yeux du Seigneur que les plus riches perles de Gusarate et d'Ophir. «Oh! s'écria-t-elle en saisissant la main du comte et en la portant à ses lèvres, oh! merci, merci, Edmond! te voilà bien tel que je t'ai toujours rêvé, tel que je t'ai toujours aimé. Oh! maintenant je puis le dire. —D'autant mieux, répondit Monte-Cristo, que le pauvre Edmond n'aura pas longtemps à être aimé par vous. Le mort va rentrer dans la tombe, le fantôme va rentrer dans la nuit. —Que dites-vous, Edmond? —Je dis que puisque vous l'ordonnez, Mercédès, il faut mourir. —Mourir! et qui est-ce qui dit cela? Qui parle de mourir? d'où vous reviennent ces idées de mort? —Vous ne supposez pas qu'outragé publiquement, en face de toute une salle, en présence de vos amis et de ceux de votre fils, provoqué par un enfant qui se glorifiera de mon pardon comme d'une victoire, vous ne supposez pas, dis-je, que j'aie un instant le désir de vivre. Ce que j'ai le plus aimé après vous, Mercédès, c'est moi-même, c'est-à-dire ma dignité, c'est-à-dire cette force qui me rendait supérieur aux autres hommes; cette force, c'était ma vie. D'un mot vous la brisez. Je meurs. —Mais ce duel n'aura pas lieu, Edmond, puisque vous pardonnez. —Il aura lieu, madame, dit solennellement Monte-Cristo, seulement, au lieu du sang de votre fils, que devait boire la terre, ce sera le mien qui coulera.» Mercédès poussa un grand cri et s'élança vers Monte-Cristo; mais tout à coup elle s'arrêta. «Edmond, dit-elle, il y a un Dieu au-dessus de nous, puisque vous vivez, puisque je vous ai revu, et je me fie à lui du plus profond de mon cœur. En attendant son appui, je me repose sur votre parole. Vous avez dit que mon fils vivrait; il vivra, n'est-ce pas? —Il vivra, oui, madame», dit Monte-Cristo, étonné que, sans autre exclamation, sans autre surprise, Mercédès eût accepté l'héroïque sacrifice qu'il lui faisait. Mercédès tendit la main au comte. «Edmond, dit-elle, tandis que ses yeux se mouillaient de larmes en regardant celui auquel elle adressait la parole, comme c'est beau de votre part, comme c'est grand ce que vous venez de faire là, comme c'est sublime d'avoir eu pitié d'une pauvre femme qui s'offrait à vous avec toutes les chances contraires à ses espérances! Hélas! je suis vieillie par les chagrins plus encore que par l'âge, et je ne puis même plus rappeler à mon Edmond par un sourire, par un regard, cette Mercédès qu'autrefois il a passé tant d'heures à contempler. Ah! croyez-moi, Edmond, je vous ai dit que, moi aussi, j'avais bien souffert; je vous le répète, cela est bien lugubre de voir passer sa vie sans se rappeler une seule joie, sans conserver une seule espérance, mais cela prouve que tout n'est point fini sur la terre. Non! tout n'est pas fini, je le sens à ce qui me reste encore dans le cœur. Oh! je vous le répète, Edmond, c'est beau, c'est grand, c'est sublime de pardonner comme vous venez de le faire! "Oh," said she, seizing the count's hand and raising it to her lips; "oh, thank you, thank you, Edmond! Now you are exactly what I dreamt you were, -- the man I always loved. Oh, now I may say so!" "So much the better," replied Monte Cristo; "as that poor Edmond will not have long to be loved by you. Death is about to return to the tomb, the phantom to retire in darkness." "What do you say, Edmond?" "I say, since you command me, Mercedes, I must die." "Die? and why so? Who talks of dying? Whence have you these ideas of death?" "You do not suppose that, publicly outraged in the face of a whole theatre, in the presence of your friends and those of your son -- challenged by a boy who will glory in my forgiveness as if it were a victory -- you do not suppose that I can for one moment wish to live. What I most loved after you, Mercedes, was myself, my dignity, and that strength which rendered me superior to other men; that strength was my life. With one word you have crushed it, and I die." "But the duel will not take place, Edmond, since you forgive?" "It will take place," said Monte Cristo, in a most solemn tone; "but instead of your son's blood to stain the ground, mine will flow." Mercedes shrieked, and sprang towards Monte Cristo, but, suddenly stopping, "Edmond," said she, "there is a God above us, since you live and since I have seen you again; I trust to him from my heart. While waiting his assistance I trust to your word; you have said that my son should live, have you not?" "Yes, madame, he shall live," said Monte Cristo, surprised that without more emotion Mercedes had accepted the heroic sacrifice he made for her. Mercedes extended her hand to the count. "Edmond," said she, and her eyes were wet with tears while looking at him to whom she spoke, "how noble it is of you, how great the action you have just performed, how sublime to have taken pity on a poor woman who appealed to you with every chance against her, Alas, I am grown old with grief more than with years, and cannot now remind my Edmond by a smile, or by a look, of that Mercedes whom he once spent so many hours in contemplating. Ah, believe me, Edmond, as I told you, I too have suffered much; I repeat, it is melancholy to pass one's life without having one joy to recall, without preserving a single hope; but that proves that all is not yet over. No, it is not finished; I feel it by what remains in my heart. Oh, I repeat it, Edmond; what you have just done is beautiful -- it is grand; it is sublime.

I was so amazed at how this all turned out. Everyone who attended the funeral was in awe of how beautiful it was made.
And I owe it all to Zazzle. I wouldn’t have done it better myself not to mention I wouldnt have time to do it.
The great part of it all was they had templates that was catered to my needs and that I could use it in ways I wanted to use to resize it my way. It took some time but I was happy it turned out great. I did 100 photos, 89, 66 photos (I think) lol templates.
The only suggestion is that the templates, before sending through would tell you of errors like; saying please revise or resize it again for any photos that is not perfectly well sitting or not show it’s cutting off some of them and where it tells you there’s duplicates.
Staring, placing and resizing all 100 + pictures into the template can be tiresome and overwhelming and it makes my eyes blurred that I can’t tell if they’re cutting off or overlapping or duplicates.
Overall I am very pleased and will be using Zazzle again should the need arises.
Thank you Zazzle.
Altogether I’ve done 3 collages 1 profile picture and couple pictures with 1 frame and yet this is my first time ordering as a 1 time customer.
Prices were very reasonable and accommodating to my finances.

Fun bright artwork that really captures the mood I’m going for! Pop art with cyberpunk energy. A little sweet but also spicy. This art is the perfect size and vibe for our art gallery wall. The printing looks great, high quality with vibrant colors! I went with the semi-gloss finish, which adds a little extra shine and thickness to the print making it excellent for high-traffic areas like the staircase wall.
