They advised him, adjured him not to yield to any fatal disillusion, but to persist and wait until Rome should have revealed to him her soul.
On le conseillait, on l’adjurait de ne pas céder à des désillusions fatales, de persister, d’attendre que Rome lui révélât son âme.

"It's there," is the evasive reply of the second fatigue man, whom experience has taught that a proclamation of the menu always evokes the bitterness of disillusion.
– C’est là, répond évasivement le deuxième homme de corvée. L’expérience lui a appris que l’énoncé du menu provoque toujours des désillusions acrimonieuses…

Or if you imagine that greatness lay in your grasp, and disillusion has taken you back to your place in the second rank; have you the right, for the rest of your life, to curse the envoy of truth?
Et si vous espérez faire de grandes choses et que la désillusion vous remette à votre place parmi les choses du second ordre, est-il juste de maudire jusqu'à la fin de vos jours l'envoyé de la vérité?

He would flee that very evening, return to Paris, disappear there, and forget his bitter disillusion in the practice of humble charity.
Il fuirait, il retournerait le soir même à Paris, y disparaîtrait, y oublierait les désillusions amères dans la pratique de la plus humble charité.

Why should disillusion distress you, if you are a man of honest intention, if you strive to be just, and of service; if you seek to be happy and wise?
Vous êtes un homme de bonne volonté, vous aspirez à être juste, utile, sage et heureux, mais si une désillusion vous attriste, c'est donc que vous regrettez le mensonge dans lequel vous étiez?

But Pierre, disillusioned as he was, had eyes only for the lofty facade on the right, overlooking the piazza, for he knew that the second-floor windows there were those of the Pope's private apartments.
Mais, dans sa désillusion, Pierre ne s’intéressa qu’à la haute façade de droite, qui donne sur la place, et où il savait que s’ouvraient les fenêtres de l’appartement particulier du pape, au second étage.

Had he been sufficiently wearied, disillusioned and instructed in the reality of things, for one to finish with him?
Était-il assez las, assez désillusionné, assez renseigné sur la réalité des choses, pour qu’on pût en finir avec lui ?

After a short sigh, natural to pure hearts when they first open to each other, she told me of her first married life, her deceptions and disillusions, the rebirth of her childhood's misery.
Après le soupir naturel aux cœurs purs au moment où ils s’ouvrent, elle me raconta les premiers jours de son mariage, ses premières déceptions, tout le "renouveau" du malheur.

And indeed the much-vaunted strength of the strenuous soul is built up of disillusions only, that this soul has cheerfully welcomed.
En somme, toute la force tant vantée des âmes fortes n'est faite que de désillusions qu'elles ont bien accueillies.

My friend,-- for you will always be my friend,-- never make such confidences again; they lay bare your disillusions; they discourage love, and compel a woman to feel doubtful of herself.
Mon ami, car vous serez toujours mon ami, gardez-vous de recommencer de pareilles confidences qui mettent à nu votre désenchantement, qui découragent l’amour et forcent une femme à douter d’elle-même.

But he is disillusioned, and lies down again, gazing past his nearly full mess-tin.
Mais c’est une illusion, et il se recouche, en regardant exprès à côté de sa gamelle presque pleine.

To his distracted cry asking for a new religion, Rome had been content to reply by condemning his book as a work tainted with heresy, and he himself had withdrawn it amidst the bitter grief of his disillusions.
À son cri éperdu qui demandait une religion nouvelle, Rome s’était contentée de répondre en condamnant son livre, comme entaché d’hérésie, et lui-même l’avait retiré, dans l’amère douleur de sa désillusion.

We should try to regard disillusions as mysterious, faithful friends, as councillors none can corrupt.
Apprenons à nous faire de nos désillusions une troupe d'amies mystérieuses et fidèles, de conseillères incorruptibles.
