Last Will
He left a set of five sentences as his last will to be officially published :
« Je donne cinquante mille francs aux pauvres. Je veux être enterré dans leur corbillard.
Je refuse l'oraison de toutes les Eglises. Je demande une prière à toutes les âmes.
Je crois en Dieu. »
I leave 50 000 francs to the poor. I want to be buried in their hearse.
I refuse orations of all churches. I beg a prayer to all souls.
I believe in God.
