“Passando fra gli insorti che si scostavano con religioso rispetto, [papà Mabeuf] continuò dritto verso Enjolras che indietreggiava impietrito, gli strappò la bandiera, e senza che nessuno osasse trattenerlo né aiutarlo, quel vecchio ottuagenario col capo vacillante, ma col piede fermo, salì lentamente la scala di pietre costruita nella barricata. Lo spettacolo era così serio che tutto all'intorno dissero: «Giù il cappello!». A ogni gradino che saliva diventava sempre più terribile: i suoi capelli canuti, il volto decrepito, l'ampia fronte calma e rugosa, gli occhi incavati, la bocca attonita e semiaperta, il vecchio braccio che sosteneva la bandiera rossa, uscivano dall'ombra e ingigantivano nel sanguinoso chiarore della torcia, e sembrava di vedere lo spettro del 1793 sorgere dalla terra inalberando la bandiera del terrore.
Quando fu all'ultimo gradino, quando quel fantasma tremante e terribile, ritto su quel mucchio di rovine dinanzi a milleduecento fucili invisibili, si drizzò in faccia alla morte come se fosse più forte di essa, tutta la barricata assunse nelle tenebre un aspetto colossale e soprannaturale. Vi fu uno di quegli istanti di silenzio che accompagnano i prodigi. In mezzo a quel silenzio il vegliardo sventolò la bandiera rossa e gridò:
«Viva la Rivoluzione! Viva la Repubblica! Fratellanza! Uguaglianza! E morte!».”

“Passando pelas galerias do esgoto de cabeça pra baixo, de trás pra frente, ao contrário, ao inverso, mas não; ao avesso, a entidade improcessável só podia ser convertida em enlouqueço, esqueço de mim e abandono a realidade do plausível, cordões umbilicais balançavam do teto e ao tocá-los agarraram a pobre criatura que me prometia dores incomensuráveis, drenando-a até restar apenas um saco seco de pele esturricada já sem sangue e com os órgãos semi-digeridos e já succionados para sabe demônios quais outros horrores ainda maiores.”

“Passati tre mesi Stransom si sentì così solo che tornò là; forse, pensava, dopo esser stati per anni i suoi migliori amici, i suoi Morti non si sarebbero lasciati abbandonare senza prima adoperarsi per lui ancora una volta. E li ritrovò come li aveva lasciati, in quel loro alto effluvio di luce, il vivido drappello che già, quando era in vena di paragoni tra cose grandi e piccole, lo aveva indotto a vederli come un manipolo di fari sul bordo dell’oceano della vita.”

“Passei a ter alucinações e a ouvir vozes claras como cristal. Ouvi minha família numa conversa informal da qual eu não conseguia participar. Ouvi a leitura do Corão numa voz celestial. Ouvi música de meu país. Mais tarde, os carcereiros usaram essas alucinações e começaram a falar com vozes de chacota através do encanamento, incentivando-me a agredir os carcereiros e armar um plano de fuga. Mas não me enganaram, mesmo quando eu fazia o jogo deles. “Ouvimos alguém — talvez um gênio!”, diziam eles.
“Sim, mas eu não estou ouvindo”, eu respondia. Só sabia que estava à beira de perder o juízo. Comecei a falar sozinho. Por mais que tentasse me convencer de que não estava na Mauritânia, de
que não estava próximo de minha família e portanto não poderia ouvi-la conversando, eu continuava ouvindo vozes permanentemente, dia e noite. Assistência psicológica estava fora de questão, como também assistência médica de verdade, além do imbecil que eu não queria nem ver.”

The whole circumference of each of these streaks was about the thickness of a hair of one's head. ... all consisted of very small green globules joined together: and there were very many small green globules as well. [The earliest recorded observation of the common green alga Spyrogyra.]”
