There was corn, corn everywhere, an infinity of corn, whose golden wave rolled from one end of the horizon to the other.
Du blé, du blé partout, un infini de blé dont la houle d’or roulait d’un bout de l’horizon à l’autre.

But nowadays when, thanks to us, corn overflows on all sides, surely he ought to have pulled down his old wheel and have replaced it by a good engine.
Mais aujourd’hui que, grâce à nous, le blé déborde, est-ce qu’il n’aurait pas dû jeter par terre la vieille roue, pour la remplacer par une bonne machine à vapeur ?...

D’ailleurs, elle ne l’entendait plus, elle n’avait maintenant d’oreille et de regard que pour la route, dont elle distinguait le ruban pâle entre les blés, les larges pièces vertes devenues noires.

And then, Serpent, you mustn't make her carry burthens and hoe corn, as so many Indians do; but treat her more as the pale-faces treat their wives."
Et puis, Serpent, il ne faut pas lui faire porter de fardeaux et travailler à la terre, comme le font tant d’Indiens ; mais la traiter plutôt comme les Faces-Pâles traitent leurs femmes.

And they would then have been delighted if the grass had been taller than themselves so that they might have lost themselves in its depths, and have been the more secluded, like larks nesting at the bottom of a field of corn.
Alors, ils auraient voulu que les herbes fussent plus grandes qu'eux, afin de se perdre dans leur flot mouvant, d'être plus seuls, d'être loin de tout, comme des alouettes voyageant au fond d'un champ de blé.

Le deuxième jour, il apparut menant deux chevaux par la bride – deux misérables rosses, dont le régime de haricots avait coupé le souffle, car il n’y avait plus d’avoine ni de foin dans tout le pays.

They had known that land dry and sterile, covered with mere scrub; they beheld it now one sea of waving corn, of crops whose growth increased at each successive season.
Ils avaient connu cette terre embroussaillée, desséchée, stérile, ils la revoyaient roulant une mer de blé, couverte de moissons dont le flot montait davantage, à chaque saison nouvelle.
