When I returned to partial life my face was wet with tears. How long / that state of insensibility had lasted I cannot say. I had no means / now of taking account of time. Never was solitude equal to this, / never had any living being been so utterly forsaken.
After my fall I had lost a good deal of blood. I felt it flowing over / me. Ah! how happy I should have been could I have died, and if death / were not yet to be gone through. I would think no longer. I drove / away every idea, and, conquered by my grief, I rolled myself to the / foot of the opposite wall.
