dilater

Une moitié rayonnait et se dilatait pendant que l’autre était obscure et se condensait.
The one half radiated and expanded, whilst the other was dark and contracted.
Il me semblait, dis-je, que mon propre esprit se communiquait à lui, que mon âme se dilatait dans l’effusion d’une charité, d’un amour surnaturel qui produisait à son tour quelque chose de surhumain.
It seemed to me that my own spirit was communicated to him, that my soul expanded in an effusion of charity, a supernatural love which produced something beyond the human in turn.
