A Paragraph from Michel de Montaigne

TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: A Paragraph from Montaigne

One of the most memorable lines in Montaigne is, “Je ne peinds pas l’estre, je peinds le passage…” Needless to say, his English translators have rendered the line in various ways. It’s from Book III, Chapter 2, “De repentir,” usually translated “Of Repentance.” I discuss this line and the paragraph of which it is a part.
