When I posed to you, only one idea lent me the courage that I needed. I wanted to fight them, I hoped to win you back; but you granted me nothing, not even a kiss on my shoulder!
Quand je posais, là, toute nue, une idée seule m’en donnait le courage: je voulais lutter, j’espérais te reprendre; et rien, pas même un baiser sur mon épaule, avant de me laisser rhabiller!

The lofty greenish flames seemed to dance in the air, glaring through'the darkness without illuminating it, brightening nothing except the scarlet waistcoats, to which they lent a purplish tinge.
Ces hautes flammes vertes dansaient en l'air, comme flottantes et suspendues, tachant la nuit sans l'éclairer, ne tirant du noir que la double rangée de gilets écarlates qu'elle rendait violâtres.
