And in Morin's brave, consistent, somewhat mournful life, there had been but one page of romance: the sudden feverish impulse which had carried him off to fight in Sicily by Garibaldi's side.
Son existence brave, unie et morne, n’avait eu qu’un roman, le coup de brusque fièvre qui l’avait emporté et fait combattre en Sicile, aux côtés de Garibaldi, lors de l’épopée légendaire des Mille.

Although he had been able to kill his flesh by renouncing the romance of his youth, although he felt that he had altogether mastered carnal passion, he now knew that it would be impossible for him to make the sacrifice of his intelligence.
S’il avait pu tuer la chair en lui, en renonçant au roman de sa jeunesse, s’il se sentait le maître de sa sensualité, au point de n’être plus un homme, il savait maintenant que le sacrifice impossible allait être celui de son intelligence.

His ambient spirit lives in the silent grandeur of its mountains, and speaks in the roar of its mighty rivers: a region redolent of romance, rich in the reality of adventure.
Son esprit, que tout environne, vit dans la silencieuse grandeur des montagnes, et parle dans le mugissement des fleuves. C'est un pays où tout respire le roman, et qui offre de riches réalités à l'esprit d'aventure.

It was he, his unexpected presence, all that he had not yet said, all the adventurous romance which he surely personated, that fanned the growing fever, the excitement of the family, intoxicated by that open-air gala.
C’était lui, c’était sa présence inattendue, tout ce qu’il n’avait pas dit encore, toute l’aventure dont on le sentait plein, qui chauffait la fièvre croissante, la passion de la famille, grisée de ce gala au grand air.

His flesh had surely died with his childhood's innocent romance, that white-skinned girl with golden hair, whom now he never beheld otherwise than stretched upon her couch of suffering, her flesh as lifeless as his own.
Sa chair était bien morte avec l’innocent roman de son enfance, cette blanche fille aux cheveux d’or, qu’il ne revoyait plus que couchée sur un lit d’infirme, la chair morte comme la sienne.

She had had no other romance in life save that tearful farewell to her friend, which for ten long years had sufficed to fill her heart.
