What is the inscription on Valjean's stone?
At the end of Les Miserables, Hugo writes that someone wrote in pencil on Valjean's gravetone. The lines are in french. Can someone tell me what the inscription on the stone says in english?
Thanks

He sleeps. Although his fate was very strange, he lived.
He died when he had no longer his angel. The thing came to pass simply, of itself, as the night comes when day is gone.
