but a strong feeling that his time was limited

Every reasonable person knows his or her time is limited. It is a romantic illusion to ascribe premonition or presentiment, though it is encouraging for one's self-esteem to remember after the fact that one did indeed feel in his bones that X was going to die, and Y would be lost in a snowstorm and Z's house would burn down the very night it did.
But superstition thrives today just as it did several millennia ago. So much for
homo sapiens sapiens.
