It is rather a relief and disburdening of the mind; it seems to have been a holiday time with us then: we were not called to appear upon the stage of life, to wear robes or tatters, to laugh or cry, be hooted or applauded; we had lain perdu all this while, sung out of harm's way; and had slept out our thousands of centuries without wanting to be waked up; at peace and free from care, in a long nonage, in a sleep deeper and calmer than that of infancy, wrapped in the softest and finest dust.

我们仿佛在度假一般：我们没有被传唤至人生的舞台上，穿着华丽的衣服或破旧的衣衫，大笑不止或痛哭流涕，被人训斥或者赞美；然而对此，我们却隐藏了好久，安闲悠闲，而远离伤害；我们仿佛沉睡了千百个世纪而不愿被人唤醒；安逸而无忧虑，总处于孩童时期；而且比婴儿睡得还要深沉，还要平静，被裹挟与最轻柔、最细密的灰尘之中。
