torpor
«The first moments of sleep are an image of death; a hazy torpor grips our thoughts and it becomes impossible for us to determine the exact instant when the ''I,'' under another form, continues the task of existence.»
«Nothing is so well calculated to produce a death-like torpor in the country as an extended system of taxation and a great national debt.»
«Such is the role of poetry. It unveils, in the strict sense of the word. It lays bare, under a light which shakes off torpor, the surprising things which surround us and which our senses record mechanically.»
Author: Jean Cocteau
