He's been as dead as a doornail for already more than 100 years. That's very good. May be not for him. But for us. No copy right — no problem! ☺

Yes... that's a very good thing... maybe. Now you can try to translate it... if you can!

This sentence is original and was not derived from translation.

In youth we may have an absolutely new experience, subjective or objective, every hour of the day. Apprehension is vivid, retentiveness strong, and our recollections of that time, like those in a time spent in rapid and interesting travel, are of something intricate, multitudinous, and long-drawn-out. But as each passing year converts some of this experience into automatic routine which we hardly note at all, the days and the weeks smooth themselves out in recollection to a contentless unit, and the years grow hollow and collapse.

➜ #5009375En la juventud podemos tener una experiencia absolutamente nueva, subjetiva u objetiva, a todas las horas del día. La aprensión es vívida, la retentiva es fuerte, y nuestros recuerdos de esa época, como aquellos del tiempo durante un viaje rápido e interesante, son algo intrincado, multitudinario e interminable, pero a medida que pasan los años parte de esta experiencia se convierte en una rutina automática que casi no se nota en absoluto; los días y las semanas pasan suavemente dejando los recuerdos como un elemento sin contenido, y con los años crece en ellos el vacío y se atenúa su existencia.

➜ #8121105Quand nous sommes jeunes, nous pouvons avoir une expérience totalement nouvelle, subjective ou objective, à chaque heure de la journée. Notre capacité d'attention est indéfectible, notre faculté à retenir les choses est immense et les souvenirs que nous conservons de cette époque, comme les souvenirs de journées consacrées à des voyages rapides intéressants, sont par nature complexes, multiples et durables. Mais à mesure que les années passent et transforment une partie de ces expériences en routines auxquelles nous prêtons de moins en moins attention, les jours et les semaines s'aplanissent dans notre souvenir en unités vides de tout contenu, les années elles-mêmes perdent leur substance et s’effondrent.

➜ #10003069In onze jeugd kunnen we elk uur van de dag volstrekt nieuwe, subjectieve of objectieve ervaringen beleven. Ons begripsvermogen is levendig, ons geheugen is scherp en onze herinneringen aan die tijd zijn, net als die aan een tijd van snelle en interessante reizen, ingewikkeld, veelvoudig en langdradig. Maar naarmate elk voorbijgaand jaar een deel van deze ervaring omzet in een automatische routine die we nauwelijks nog opmerken, vervagen de dagen en de weken in de herinnering tot een inhoudsloze eenheid en worden de jaren hol en storten ze ineen.

➜ #10772994Na juventude, podemos ter experiências absolutamente novas, subjectivas ou objectivas, a cada hora do dia. A apreensão é vívida, a retenção é forte e as nossas recordações desse tempo, como as de um tempo passado numa viagem rápida e interessante, são de algo intrincado, multitudinário e prolongado. Mas à medida que cada ano que passa converte algumas destas experiências em rotina automática que quase não registamos, os dias e as semanas alisam-se na lembrança a uma unidade sem conteúdo e os anos tornam-se ocos e desmoronam-se.
