Songez à la perplexité d'un homme hors du temps et de l'espace, qui a perdu sa montre, et sa règle de mesure, et son diapason. Je crois, Monsieur, que c'est bien cet état qui constitue la mort.
Think of the perplexity of a man outside of time and space, who has lost his watch, and his measuring rule, and his tuning fork. I believe, Sir, that it is indeed this state which constitutes death.
