Still, the general appearance
was not that of death.
Monsieur Valdemar,
are you asleep?
Yes,
I am asleep now.
Do not wake me!
Let me die so!
It was now the opinion,
or rather the wish,
of the physicians,
suffered to remain undisturbed
in his present apparently
tranquil condition,
and this,
it was now generally agreed,
must take place
within a few minutes.
I concluded, however,
to speak to him
once more.
Monsieur Valdemar,
do you still sleep?
Yes,
no.
I have been sleeping
and now...
Now...
I am dead.
It was evident that,
so far, death,
or what is usually termed death,
had been arrested
by the mesmeric process.
The experiment is completed.
But... are we sure he's dead?
You've heard it like me, right?
Is your scientific mind
restricted
by that which you can only see
or hear yourself?
From this period
until the close of last week,
an interval of
nearly seven months,
we continued to make daily calls
at M. Valdemar's house.
colleagues to leave M. Valdemar
in this state and
to monitor him.
First, we confined ourselves
But soon, we were obliged
to face the facts.
Gentlemen,
we are not advancing our work.
These observations
are too superficial.
You still wish to
dissect the subject
like a laboratory animal.
Without going that far,
we can engage in
some light tests.
You are mistaken! I...
What are you suggesting, Dr. L?
Well, we could always...
let it be.
There is nothing further
to be done.
All of the subject's vital
functions are inert.
He has stopped breathing, his
heart no longer beats, yet...
in seven months, decomposition
has not attacked his body
and no treatment has
cured his illness.
Medically, M. Valdemar is dead.
Let's wake him up.
You're talking nonsense!
These thoughts are sacrilege!
Insanity!
You would not agree
to put him in this state
and now you refuse
to release him from it?
I...
Let it go my friend,
Dr. P is right.
All we can do now
is to offer him a decent burial.
It was on Friday last
that we finally resolved
to make the experiment
of awakening,
or attempting to awaken him.
For the purpose of
relieving M. Valdemar
from the mesmeric trance,
I made use of the
customary passes.
These, for a time,
were unsuccessful.
M. Valdemar,
can you explain to us what your
feelings or wishes are now?
For God's sake!
Quick! Quick!
Put me to sleep!
Or Waken me! Quick!
I say to you that I am dead!
Dead!
Dead!!!
For what really
occurred, however,
it is quite impossible
that any living human
could have been prepared.
