Excerpt from Contes Nocturnes, Vol. 3
Il se nommait Jean Wacht, et il était charpentier de son métier.
La nature en pesant et en fixant les destinées de ses enfans suit une voie secrète, impénétrable; et ce que les convenances, ce que, dans cette vie étroite, les égards et les opinions do minantes prétendent établir, comme le vrai but de l'emstence n'est à ses yeux qu'un jeu d'enfans présomptueux qui prennent leur sottise pour de la sa gesse. La vue de l'homme est trop limitée pour ne pas trouver souvent une ironie funeste entre la conviction de son esprit et les arrêts incompré hensibles d'une puissance mystérieuse. Cette ironie le remplit d'horreur et d'effroi parce qu'elle menace sa pro pre existence.
