• Cette existence claustrale si austère et si morne, dont nous venons d'indiquer quelques linéaments, ce n'est pas la vie, car ce n'est pas la liberté; ce n'est pas la tombe, car ce n'est pas la plénitude; c'est le lieu étrange d'où l'on aperçoit, comme de la crête d'une haute montagne, d'un côté l'abîme où nous sommes, de l'autre l'abîme où nous serons; c'est une frontière étroite et brumeuse séparant deux mondes, éclairée et obscurcie par les deux à la fois, où le rayon affaibli de la vie se mêle au rayon vague de la mort; c'est la pénombre du tombeau.

  This cloistered existence which is so austere, so depressing, a few of whose features we have just traced, is not life, for it is not liberty; it is not the tomb, for it is not plenitude; it is the strange place whence one beholds, as from the crest of a lofty mountain, on one side the abyss where we are, on the other, the abyss whither we shall go; it is the narrow and misty frontier separating two worlds, illuminated and obscured by both at the same time, where the ray of life which has become enfeebled is mingled with the vague ray of death; it is the half obscurity of the tomb.
