On July 10, 1791, the body was transferred to the Panthéon, but during the Hundred Days it was once more, it is said, disentombed, and stowed away in a piece of waste ground.
His heart, taken from the body when it was embalmed, and given to Madame Denis and by her to Madame de Villette, was preserved in a silver case, and when it was proposed (in 1864) to restore it to the other remains, the sarcophagus at Sainte-Genevieve (the Panthéon) was opened and found to be empty.
In person Voltaire was not engaging, even as a young man. His extraordinary thinness is commemorated, among other things, by the very poor but well-known epigram attributed to Young, and identifying him at once with "Satan, Death and Sin".
