ten o'clock at
night
I paid my respects to him as cheerfully as possible , and ordered dinner to be served up . Kant sat at the table with us ; and , taking a spoon with a little soup in it , put it to his lips ; but immediately put it down again , and retired to bed , from which he never rose again , except during the few minutes when it was re-arranged . Thursday , the 9th , he had sunk into the weakness of a dying person , and the corpse-like appearance had already taken possession of him . I visited him frequently through the day ; and , going at ten o'clock at night , I found him in a state of insensibility . I could not draw any sign from him that he knew me , and I left him to the care of his sister and his servant . Friday , the 10th , I went to see him at six o'clock in the morning . It was very stormy , and a deep snow had fallen in the night-time .
