Sa mémoire, la mémoire de ses côtes, de ses genoux, de ses épaules, lui présentait successivement plusieurs des chambres où il avait dormi, tandis qu’autour de lui les murs invisibles, changeant de place selon la forme de la pièce imaginée, tourbillonnaient dans les ténèbres.

Its memory, the memory of its ribs, of its knees, of its shoulders, presented to it several successive rooms which it had slept, while it was surrounded by invisible walls, changing their place according to the form of the part imagined, whirling in the darkness.
