     Sous ce linceul d'ennui nonchalant et affaissé dont je t'ai parlé tout à l'heure remue parfois une pensée plutôt engourdie que morte, et je n'ai pas toujours le calme doux et triste que donne la mélancolie.

     Unter dem Leichentuch gleichmütiger und stierer Langeweile, von der ich vorhin sprach, regt sich bisweilen eher gelähmtes als erstorbenes Denken, und nicht immer eignet mir sanfttrübe Ruhe, die Melancholie verleiht.

     Beneath this winding sheet of indifferent and depressing languor of which I have just told you, there sometimes stirs a thought, torpid rather than dead, and I do not always possess the sweet, sad calm that melancholy gives.
