只想记录下于佩尔在葬礼上读的那段话
this is what i see and what troubles me,
i took on all sides, and see only darkness everywhere.
nature presents to me, nothing but doubt and concern.
if i saw nothing there which revealed a divinity, i would come to a negative conclusion.
if i saw everywhere the signs of a creator, i would remain peacefully in faith.
but, seeing too much to deny and too little to be sure, i am in state to be pitied.
i have 100 times wished that if a God maintains nature, it should testify to Him unequivocally.
if the signs nature gives are deceptive, he should suppress them fully.
nature should say everything or nothing, so i see which cause to follow .
but in my present state, ignorant of what i am or of what i must do.
i know neither my condition nor my duty, my heart inclines to know where is the true good in order to follow.
nothing would be too dear to me for eternity.
