When she came to verses about murder and fire, her voice would proceed more slowly, in order that she might dwell with longer pleasure on the terrors of hell, and the displays of the unrelenting justice of Heaven.Quand elle arrivait à des versets de meurtre et d’incendie, elle ralentissait la voix, pour mieux goûter les terreurs de l’enfer, les éclats de la justice impitoyable du Ciel.Zola, Emile / Madeleine FeratZola, Emile / Madeleine FeratMadeleine FeratZola, EmileMadeleine FeratZola, Emile
I need not dwell upon these results here, for my aim is simply to show how difficult it is to obtain information about a battle.Je n'ai pas à insister ici sur ces résultats.

However, Pierre more particularly thought of Leo XIII, forgetting the rest of the city to let his thoughts dwell on the Palatine, now bereft of its crown of palaces and rearing only its black cypresses towards the blue heavens.Mais Pierre surtout s’imaginait que Léon XIII, l’ombre toute blanche là-haut, finissait par oublier le reste de la ville, pour laisser sa rêverie se fixer sur le Palatin, aujourd’hui découronné, ne dressant dans le ciel bleu que ses cyprès noirs.Zola, Emile / The Three Cities - RomeZola, Emile / Les Trois Villes - RomeLes Trois Villes - RomeZola, EmileThe Three Cities - RomeZola, Emile
"I know your history, then, for Hurry Harry talks considerable, and he is free of speech when he can find other people's consarns to dwell on.– En ce cas, je connais votre histoire, car Hurry Harry parle beaucoup, et il ne se gêne pas pour parler des affaires des autres quand il en trouve l’occasion.Cooper, James Fenimore / The DeerslayerCooper, James Fenimore / Le tueur de daimsLe tueur de daimsCooper, James FenimoreThe DeerslayerCooper, James Fenimore© Wordsworth Editions Limited 1995
There was no corner in my heart where I could fly to escape suffering; an avenging spirit filled me incessantly with thoughts on which I dared not dwell.Il y avait un coin de mon cœur où je ne pouvais me retirer sans souffrance; un esprit vengeur me jetait incessamment des idées sur lesquelles je n’osais m’appesantir.Balzac, Honore de / The Lily of the ValleyBalzac, Honore de / Le Lys dans la valleeLe Lys dans la valleeBalzac, Honore deThe Lily of the ValleyBalzac, Honore de
And difficult as it may be to transform the instincts that dwell in the soul, it is well that those who build not should be made aware of the joy that the others experience as they incessantly pile stone upon stone.Mais s'il est difficile de transformer l'instinct d'une âme, il n'est pas inutile que celles qui ne bâtissent pas sachent la joie que les autres éprouvent à remettre sans cesse les pierres sur les pierres.Maeterlinck, Maurice / Wisdom and DestinyMaeterlinck, Maurice / La sagesse et la destineeLa sagesse et la destineeMaeterlinck, MauriceWisdom and DestinyMaeterlinck, Maurice

He who spends his days gloomily, in constant mistrust of his fellows, will often appear a profounder thinker than the other, who lives in the faith and honest simplicity wherein all men should dwell.Il est plus facile de paraître profond dans la méfiance et les ténèbres, que dans la confiance et l'honnête clarté où les hommes doivent vivre.Maeterlinck, Maurice / Wisdom and DestinyMaeterlinck, Maurice / La sagesse et la destineeLa sagesse et la destineeMaeterlinck, MauriceWisdom and DestinyMaeterlinck, Maurice
Be not surprised, therefore, if I dwell on all these homely scenes; the smallest details of that simple, almost common life are ties which, frail as they may seem, bound me in closest union to the countess.Ne vous étonnez donc pas de me voir vous entretenant de scènes si familières. Les moindres détails de cette vie simple et presque commune ont été comme autant d’attaches faibles en apparence par lesquelles je me suis étroitement uni à la comtesse.Balzac, Honore de / The Lily of the ValleyBalzac, Honore de / Le Lys dans la valleeLe Lys dans la valleeBalzac, Honore deThe Lily of the ValleyBalzac, Honore de
God does not dwell there; the only purpose of that huge edifice is to defy reason, truth and justice; it has been erected on the highest spot that could be found, like a citadel of error that dominates, insults and threatens Paris!"Dieu n’est pas là, il n’y a là qu’un défi à la raison, à la vérité, à la justice, un colossal édifice qu’on a dressé le plus haut possible, comme une citadelle de l’absurde, dominant Paris, qu’il insulte et qu’il menace. »Zola, Emile / The Three Cities - ParisZola, Emile / Les Trois Villes - ParisLes Trois Villes - ParisZola, EmileThe Three Cities - ParisZola, Emile
It is easier far to be sad and dwell in affliction than at once to do what time in the end will always compel us to do: to shake ourselves free from affliction.Il est plus facile de s'affliger et de demeurer dans son affliction, que de faire sur-le-champ, le pas que le temps finit toujours par nous faire faire au delà de cette affliction.Maeterlinck, Maurice / Wisdom and DestinyMaeterlinck, Maurice / La sagesse et la destineeLa sagesse et la destineeMaeterlinck, MauriceWisdom and DestinyMaeterlinck, Maurice
I never believe much in the learning of them that dwell in towns, for I never yet met with one that had an eye for a rifle or a trail."Je n’ai jamais beaucoup cru au savoir de ceux qui demeurent dans les villes, car je n’en ai jamais vu un seul qui eût l’œil sûr pour tirer un coup de mousquet, ou pour trouver une piste.Cooper, James Fenimore / The Pathfinder, or, the Inland SeaCooper, James Fenimore / Le lac OntarioLe lac OntarioCooper, James FenimoreThe Pathfinder, or, the Inland SeaCooper, James Fenimore© State University of New York 1981

The sage whom we love must dwell in the midst of all human passions, for only on the passions known to the heart can his wisdom safely be nourished.Le sage que nous aimons doit vivre au milieu de toutes les passions humaines; car les passions de notre coeur sont les seuls aliments dont la sagesse puisse longtemps se nourrir sans danger.Maeterlinck, Maurice / Wisdom and DestinyMaeterlinck, Maurice / La sagesse et la destineeLa sagesse et la destineeMaeterlinck, MauriceWisdom and DestinyMaeterlinck, Maurice
