my ears like a sweet love song.
What do you mean, obsession?
Come with me,
don't delay for another second.
Being alive in this world
brings you more unbearable pain
and suffering than those
who wish to sleep forever
even as you try to extend life
beyond my sweet embrace.
I remember vaguely,
Someone who challenged you.
My attention, for
the last three years,
had been repeatedly drawn
to the subject of Mesmerism.
In Boston, a 13-year-old
child under hypnosis
could diagnose his own illness,
one which his own doctors
could not determine.
And in India, a paraplegic,
placed in a similar
hypnotic state,
managed to take some steps!
Imagine, Mr. Valdemar,
the progress that Mesmerism
offers to science!
My friend,
I respect your enthusiasm,
but for my part, I can't disavow
my skepticism
about the future of hypnosis.
us at the Black Swan.
In addition, it
seems that no person
has as yet been mesmerized
in articulo mortis.
What a great testimony
will that be,
witnessing the transition
between life and death.
My friend, if you promise
to change the subject,
I am ready to volunteer myself
to this experiment
at the time of my death.
Really?
Yes, but rest assured,
I have no intention
It is now rather more
than seven months
since last time I talked
with M. Valdemar.
Phthisis has attacked my lungs.
They give me a few
months at most.
M. Valdemar,
do you remember your promise?
I beg your pardon?
Yes, the idea may seem absurd,
but think of all you
have to gain now.
No...
I don't know.
Allow me to consider it.
Valdemar, you are condemned.
You have no family or home.
What have you to lose?
Promise me you will
think about it.
Very well,
lam in your hands.
It was finally arranged between
us that he would send for me
about twenty-four
hours before the period
announced by his physicians
as that of his decease.
I received this note
within half an hour
after it was written,
I was in the dying
man's chamber.
It was about five
minutes to eight when,
taking the patient's hand,
I begged him to state
as distinctly as he could
to Dr. L whether he
was entirely willing
that I should make the
experiment of mesmerizing him
in his then condition.
Yes, I wish to be mesmerized.
I fear you have
deferred it too long.
At five minutes before eleven,
I perceived unequivocal signs
of the mesmeric influence.
When I had accomplished this,
it was fully midnight,
and I requested the
gentlemen present
to examine
M. Valdemar's condition.
The patient's extremities
were of an icy coldness.
