Napoleon hallucinates Josephine a week before his death in 1821

From the timeline based on the St Helena notebooks of General Henri Gatien Bertrand, Cahiers de Sainte-Hélène. Les 500 derniers jours (1820-1821)

28 April 1821:

Napoleon was no longer himself, was becoming anaemic because of internal bleeding, was becoming less and less lucid, indeed occasionally delirious. During the night he said that he had seen Josephine and spoken to her, he thought he had been walking in the garden at Longwood, he kept requesting oranges. The doctors began to fear the worst. The Grand Marshal Bertrand exclaimed: “I kept thinking about how great the change was! Tears kept coming to my eyes as I looked at that man, so awe-inspiring, who had commanded so proudly, so absolutely, beg for a coffee spoon, asking permission, obedient like a child… “Voilà le grand Napoléon”: to be pitied, brought low!”

L'essenziale arriva spesso alla fine di una lunga conversazione. Le grandi verità si dicono sulla soglia della porta.

“I could say of Sibiu or Paris what Akhmatova said of Leningrad: 'my shadow lingers on your walls.'”
