In the distance the crickets chirped in the meadows of Sainte-Claire, and at their feet the ripples of the Viorne sounded like lovers' whispers – like the soft cooing of humid lips.Au loin, les grillons chantaient dans les prés Sainte-Claire, et la Viorne avait à leurs pieds des voix chuchotantes d’amoureux, des bruits adoucis de lèvres humides.Zola, Emile / The Fortune of the RougonsZola, Emile / La Fortune des RougonLa Fortune des RougonZola, EmileThe Fortune of the RougonsZola, Emile© 2006 BiblioBazaar
