kyla Something about sea_nettles...

Oh, it's Proust!

"'I do not easily believe in death.' says Michelet in an admirable passage. It is true that he says it of a sea nettle, whose death, so little different from its life, is scarcely notable...Although I believe without difficulty in the death of a sea nettle, I cannot easily believe in the death of a person, even in the simple eclipse, the simple decay of his reason. Our sense of the soul’s continuity is very strong. What! This spirit which, a moment ago controlled life by its views, controlled death, inspired in us so much respect, there it is, controlled by life, by death, weaker than our own spirit which, however much it may desire, can no longer bow before what has become little more than a nonentity! It is with madness as with the impairment of faculties in the old, as with death. What? The man who yesterday wrote the letter quoted above, so noble, so intelligent, this man today . . . ?"

Anyway.

Nettles nettles nettles.

Hah!
