Je ne peux plus rien faire, ni rien sentir, répétait-elle, je suis inerte comme une bête de somme, dans un état de prostration dont rien ne peut me tirer. Dès mon enfance j’ai eu de ces moments d’indifférence à tout, de vide du cœur impossibles à exprimer. Non seulement le corps est anéanti, mais l’esprit nous échappe et le cœur va mourir. Tout est ténèbres en nous et hors de nous. L’âme ne voit plus et ne sent plus que le néant où il semble qu’elle va s’abîmer pour jamais.
