The operation is very delicate and very important, for the resistance of the cotton cloth of which the balloon is made is figured not in proportion to the contact surface of this cloth with the net, but in proportion to the links of the basket. Le Horla, moreover, has been designed by M. Mallet, constructed under his own eyes and made by himself.

Lui, Le Horla a terrifying conception that beats Poe on his own chosen field Fou, Un Fou, and several others show the nature of his malady.
That is called placing a balloon in a sweep-net, and, in fact, it appeared like an enormous fish. Two or three hundred people were looking at it, sitting or standing, and some were examining the basket, a nice little square basket for a human cargo, bearing on its side in gold letters on a mahogany plate the words: Le Horla.
Ah! the vulture has eaten the pigeon, the wolf has eaten the lamb; the lion has devoured the buffalo with sharp horns; man has killed the lion with an arrow, with a sword, with gunpowder; but the Horla will make of man what we have made of the horse and of the ox: his chattel, his slave and his food, by the mere power of his will. Woe to us!
The creature that will rise soon begins to move, and the attendants of Captain Jovis, as Le Horla grew larger, spread and put in place the net which covers it, so that the pressure will be regular and equally distributed at every point.
It is he, the Horla, who haunts me, and who makes me think of these foolish things! He is within me, he is becoming my soul; I shall kill him! August 19. I shall kill him. I have seen him! Yesterday I sat down at my table and pretended to write very assiduously.
He has come, the the what does He call himself the I fancy that he is shouting out his name to me and I do not hear him the yes He is shouting it out I am listening I cannot repeat it Horla I have heard the Horla it is He the Horla He has come!
Why this transparent, unrecognizable body, this body belonging to a spirit, if it also had to fear ills, infirmities and premature destruction? Premature destruction? All human terror springs from that! After man the Horla.
This Horla, according to Przybyszewski, conquered Chopin and became vocal in his music this Horla has mastered Nietzsche, who, quite mad, gave the world that Bible of the Ubermensch, that dancing lyric prose-poem, "Also Sprach Zarathustra." Nietzsche's disciple is half right.
