Thus the drawing room had a strange yellow glow, which filled it with an artificial dazzling light. The furniture, the paper, and the window curtains were yellow; the carpet and even the marble table-tops showed touches of yellow.
Le salon avait ainsi pris une étrange couleur jaune qui l’emplissait d’un jour faux et aveuglant; le meuble, le papier, les rideaux de fenêtre étaient jaunes; le tapis et jusqu’aux marbres du guéridon et des consoles tiraient eux-mêmes sur le jaune.

Jamais visage humain n’avait paru si beau, d’une splendeur de souffrance et d’amour si éclatante, la Douleur antique, mais toute frémissante de vie, avec son front royal, ses joues de grâce fière, sa bouche de perfection divine.
