Examples from texts

And at last, from the summit sprang the Basilica, somewhat slender and frail, recalling some finely chased jewel of the Renascence, and looking very new and very white--like a prayer, a spotless dove, soaring aloft from the rocks of Massabielle.
Et, enfin, la Basilique s’élançait un peu mince et frêle, trop neuve, trop blanche, avec son style amaigri de fin bijou, jaillie des roches de Massabielle ainsi qu’une prière, une envolée de colombe pure.

I will be resigned; I was wicked to speak as I did." Eva soon lay like a wearied dove in her father's arms; and he, bending over her, soothed her by every tender word he could think of.
Je serai résigné.» Comme une colombe fatiguée, Éva resta blottie dans le sein de son père qui, penché sur elle, cherchait à la calmer par les plus tendres, les plus caressantes paroles.

At last she made a cut through the Eue de la Licorne and the Eue des Trois Canettes, and in this way emerged upon the Place du Parvis, after losing at the ventilator of a suspicious house one of the flounces of her dove-coloured dress.
Elle dut se décider à couper par la rue de la Licorne et la rue des Trois-Canettes. Enfin, elle déboucha sur la place du Parvis, après avoir laissé à un soupirail de maison suspecte tout un volant de sa robe gorge-de-pigeon.

Doubtless the diggers worked chance-wise and clumsily; the craftsmen no longer knew how to engrave a name or carve a palm or a dove.
Sans doute, tout art avait disparu, les fossoyeurs creusaient au hasard, avec des irrégularités d’ouvriers maladroits, les artistes ne savaient plus graver un nom, ni sculpter une palme ou une colombe.

"She is a true dove, Jasper" said the Pathfinder, neither relinquishing the hand he held until the girl herself, in native modesty, saw fit to withdraw it, "and wonderfully winning!
– C’est une vraie colombe, Jasper, – dit Pathfinder, qui ne lâcha la main qu’il tenait que lorsque Mabel, par modestie naturelle, jugea à propos de la retirer.

She was laughing with the cooing sound of a dove, and looked charming with her thick black hair and her superb eyes, set in a somewhat square face, which had a straight forehead, chubby cheeks, and full red lips.
Elle riait d’un roucoulement de tourterelle, charmante, avec d’épais cheveux noirs, des yeux superbes dans une face un peu carrée, au front droit, aux joues larges, aux fortes lèvres rouges.

The duck dove at the flash, as had been expected, and the bullet skipped harmlessly along the surface of the lake, first striking the water within a few inches of the spot where the bird had so lately swam.
L’oiseau plongea à la première lueur de l’amorce, comme Deerslayer s’y attendait, et la balle glissa sans le toucher sur la surface du lac, frappant d’abord l’eau à quelques pouces de l’endroit ou le plongeon nageait quelques instants auparavant.

At other times there is an emblem, the dove of purity, the palm of martyrdom, or else the fish whose name in Greek is composed of five letters which, as initials, signify: 'Jesus Christ, Son of God, Saviour.'"
D’autres fois, il y a un emblème, la colombe de la pureté, la palme du martyre, ou bien le poisson, dont le nom grec est composé de cinq lettres, qui sont les initiales des cinq mots grecs : Jésus-Christ, Fils de Dieu, Sauveur des hommes. »

"The Sergeant was wrong - yes, he was wrong, and it's of no avail to attempt to make the dove consort with the wolf."
– Le sergent a eu tort. – Oui, il a eu tort. – Doit-on essayer d’unir la tourterelle avec le loup ?

They say the Muskrat, as they called your father, has dove to the bottom of the lake; that he will never come up again, and that his young will soon be in want of wigwams if not of food.
Ils disent que le Rat-Musqué, comme ils appellent votre père, a fait le plongeon dans le lac, qu’il ne reviendra jamais à la surface, et que ses petits auront bientôt besoin de wigwam, sinon de nourriture.

Then my eyes cleared and I found myself looking at the inside of a car upholstered in some soft dove-coloured fabric, and beautifully finished off in ivory and silver.
Puis, m’étant accoutumé à la clarté, j’aperçus une auto dont l’intérieur était tapissé de gris tourterelle avec de merveilleuses garnitures d’argent et d’ivoire.
