"Un homme qui est mort à trente-cinq ans apparaîtra aux générations lointaines comme un jeune homme, presque un garçon, tandis que ses contemporains qui ont atteint un âge avancé me sembleront toujours être nés vieux."
— Walter Benjamin
Simplified Meaning:
People in the future will see a person who died young as still being young. Meanwhile, those who lived a long life will always seem as if they were always old.
