I sometimes wonder what dreams lay concealed inside that royal harp whose ghostly presence dominated our living room for so many years, whose silhouette against the window marked my childhood without a sound.
Je me demande parfois quels rêves cachait cette harpe royale dont la présence fantomatique domina notre salon toutes ces années. Cette harpe dont la silhouette se découpant dans la lumière de la fenêtre marqua mon enfance sans jamais émettre un son.

In one corner half a dozen sons of Orpheus twanged away upon harp, guitar, and bandolin; occasionally helping out the music with a shrill half-Indian chant.
Dans un coin, une demi-douzaine de fils d'Orphée faisaient résonner des harpes, des guitares et des mandolines; de temps en temps, ils rehaussaient cette musique par un chant aigu, à la manière indienne.

As I listened it seemed to me that the harp of Job, from which I had drawn such savage sounds, now touched by the Christian fingers gave forth the litanies of the Virgin at the foot of the cross.
En l’écoutant, il me semblait que la harpe de Job de laquelle j’avais tiré de sauvages accords, maintenant maniée par des doigts chrétiens, y répondait en chantant les litanies de la Vierge au pied de la croix.

The voices descended, taking their flight under the vaulted ceilings with the airy sweetness of celestial harps; then in suave harmony they died away, reascended to the heavens as with a faint flapping of wings.
Les voix descendaient, volaient sous les voûtes, d’une légèreté de harpes célestes ; puis, elles s’évanouirent en un accord suave, elles remontèrent aux cieux avec un petit bruit d’ailes qui se perdit.
