"And that timid fawn starts not with fear, When I steal to her secret bower; And that young May violet to me is dear, And I visit the silent streamlet near, To look on the lovely flower."
Ce timide faon ne tressaille pas de crainte quand j’arrive doucement dans le bosquet qu’il préfère ; – cette jeune violette de mai m’est bien chère ; – et je visite ce petit ruisseau silencieux pour contempler l’aimable fleur qui croit sur ses bords.

For Rudolf Hess for years a submissive, fawning Hitler-devotee, the leader-cult was a matter of deep belief, even psychological necessity, not just functional value.
Pour Rudolf Hess, fanatique transi et servile de Hitler depuis des années, le culte du chef était une question de croyance viscérale, voire une nécessité psychologique, plutôt qu'une simple valeur fonctionnelle.

The fawning spirit which seems instinctive in children taught my brother and sisters to join in the persecutions to which I was subjected, and thus keep in the good graces of a mother whom they feared as much as I.
la courtisanerie, en germe chez les enfants, leur conseillait-elle de contribuer aux persécutions qui m’affligeaient pour se ménager les bonnes grâces d’une mère également redoutée par eux.
