One night, among others, they heated so cruelly his virgin and priestly blood, that he bit his pillow, leaped from his bed, flung on a surplice over his shirt, and left his cell, lamp in hand, half naked, wild, his eyes aflame.
Une nuit entre autres, elles échauffèrent si cruellement dans ses artères son sang de vierge et de prêtre qu’il mordit son oreiller, sauta hors de son lit, jeta un surplis sur sa chemise, et sortit de sa cellule, sa lampe à la main, à demi nu, effaré, l’œil en feu.
