To mingle with one's life a certain presence of the sepulchre is the law of the wise man, and it is the law… — Victor Hugo
To mingle with one's life a certain presence of the sepulchre is the law of the wise man, and it is the law of the ascetic. In this relation, the ascetic and the sage tend towards a common centre.
Mêler à sa vie une certaine présence du sépulcre, c’est la loi du sage; et c’est la loi de l’ascète. Sous ce rapport l’ascète et le sage convergent.
