Examples from texts

Twenty times did the canoe appear about to dash against some curling and bright wave that showed itself even amid that obscurity; and as often did it glide away again unharmed, impelled by the vigorous arm of him who governed its movements.
Vingt fois la pirogue parut sur le point d’aller heurter une vague en tourbillon qui brillait même au sein de cette obscurité, mais autant de fois le bras vigoureux de celui qui en dirigeait les mouvements la remit sur sa route sans accident.
