Jacques Yonnet quote ✍️

Quote

Better beware of the newly dead Of the white-handed ghost And the brightness of these lamps . . .wrote Luc Berimont in 1940, in Reign of Darkness. I’ve always felt the greatest reluctance to go anywhere near, to touch, a fresh corpse. For me, it’s an unseemly thing. Useless. Hostile. Cunning. Dangerous. The ‘presence’ is much stronger, more perceptible one hour after death than one hour before. By my observation, this was not the case with Heisserer. He was entirely absent from his head, his hands, his quivering body. He was gone instantly, unburdened of his absurd life, released.
