Waterloo! Waterloo! Waterloo! Morne plaine!

Waterloo! Waterloo! Waterloo! Dismal plain!

L'Expiation, from Les Châtiments (1853), Book VVictor Hugo
Was it possible that Napoleon should win the battle of Waterloo? We answer, No! Why? Because of Wellington? Because of Blücher? No! Because of God! For Bonaparte to conquer at Waterloo was not the law of the nineteenth century. It was time that this vast man should fall. He had been impeached before the Infinite! He had vexed God! Waterloo was not a battle. It was the change of front of the Universe!
Victor Hugo
Every man meets his Waterloo at last.
Wendell Phillips
The Battle of Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton.
