+I WAS sick -- sick unto death with that long agony; and when +they at length unbound me, and I was permitted to sit, I felt that my senses +were leaving me. The sentence -- the dread sentence of death -- was the last of +distinct accentuation which reached my ears. After that, the sound of the +inquisitorial voices seemed merged in one dreamy indeterminate hum. It conveyed +to my soul the idea of revolution -- perhaps from its association in fancy with +the burr of a mill wheel. This only for a brief period; for presently I heard no +more. Yet, for a while, I saw; but with how terrible an exaggeration! I saw the +lips of the black-robed judges. They appeared to me white -- whiter than the +sheet upon which I trace these words -- and thin even to grotesqueness; thin +with the intensity of their expression of firmness -- of immoveable resolution +-- of stern contempt of human torture. I saw that the decrees of what to me was +Fate, were still issuing from those lips. I saw them writhe with a deadly +locution. I saw them fashion the syllables of my name; and I shuddered because +no sound succeeded. I saw, too, for a few moments of delirious horror, the soft +and nearly imperceptible waving of the sable draperies which enwrapped the walls +of the apartment. And then my vision fell upon the seven tall candles upon the +table. At first they wore the aspect of charity, and seemed white and slender +angels who would save me; but then, all at once, there came a most deadly nausea +over my spirit, and I felt every fibre in my frame thrill as if I had touched +the wire of a galvanic battery, while the angel forms became meaningless +spectres, with heads of flame, and I saw that from them there would be no help. +And then there stole into my fancy, like a rich musical note, the thought of +what sweet rest there must be in the grave. The thought came gently and +stealthily, and it seemed long before it attained full appreciation; but just as +my spirit came at length properly to feel and entertain it, the figures of the +judges vanished, as if magically, from before me; the tall candles sank into +nothingness; their flames went out utterly; the blackness of darkness +supervened; all sensations appeared swallowed up in a mad rushing descent as of +the soul into Hades. Then silence, and stillness, night were the universe.
