Il sera plus sage, mais moins prétentieusement sûr; plus heureux, mais moins satisfait de Iui; plus humble en reconnaissant son ignorance, et pourtant mieux équipé pour comprendre les rapports entre les mots et les choses, entre le raisonnement systématique et le Mystère insondable dont il essaye, à jamais et en vain, d’avoir la compréhension.

Derniére phrase de –
