For there lurks unspeakable pride, and pride of the poorest kind, in thus declaring ourselves satisfied because we can find satisfaction in nothing that is.
Il n'y a pas de limites à la vérité, et c'est pourquoi la sagesse n'a jamais le droit de déplier ainsi, au premier carrefour de l'orgueil, la pauvre petite tente du désenchantement ou du renoncement.

Men were crawling out from the burning ruin, but not to run away. No! Under its lurking flames, amidst the hot smoke, they still battled fierce, and foaming, and frenzied.
Des hommes sortaient du milieu des ruines embrasées, mais non pour fuir; sous les jets de la flamme, au milieu de la fumée brûlante, ils continuaient de combattre, furieux, écumant de rage.

And he read, he knew, the precise thought which lurked in that look, the indignant thought of this simple and right-minded little woman; for the look said: "You are jealous-that is what you are.
Et il sentit, il pénétra, il devina la pensée nette qui animait ce regard, la pensée irritée de cette petite femme à l'esprit simple et droit, car ce regard disait: «Tu es jaloux, toi.

That day the young painter was possessed by a sudden whim to ramble about and revisit in Christine's company the nooks beloved in other days; and behind this desire of his there lurked a vague hope that she would bring him luck.
C’était une envie soudaine de promenade, un besoin de revoir avec elle des coins chéris autrefois, derrière lequel se cachait le vague espoir qu’elle lui porterait chance.

While a "lurking doubt" may be a powerful trigger for thorough appellate scrutiny of the evidence, it is not, without further articulation of the basis for such doubt, a proper basis upon which to interfere with the findings of a jury.
Bien qu'un «doute persistant» puisse être un puissant élément déclencheur d'un examen approfondi de la preuve en appel, il ne constitue pas, sans autre explication des motifs de ce doute, une bonne raison de modifier les conclusions d'un jury.

The prawn-fishing would favour him by affording him an opportunity; and it would be a pretty scene too, a pretty spot for love-making-their feet in a pool of limpid water while they watched the long feelers of the shrimps lurking under the wrack.
La pêche lui servirait, facilitant leur tête-à-tête; et ce serait en outre un joli cadre, un joli endroit pour parler d'amour, les pieds dans un bassin d'eau limpide, en regardant fuir sous les varechs les longues barbes des crevettes.
