'Noirtier was sitting in a wheelchair where they put him from morning till evening in front of a mirror which allowed him to see the whole apartment... without attempting any movement: this was something that had become impossible for him.
Noirtier sat í hjķlastķlnum, líkt og hann gerđi frá morgni til kvölds, fyrir framan spegil ūar sem hann gat séđ alla íbúđina án ūess ađ hreyfa sig, ekki ađ hann gæti ūađ.
