Examples from texts

At last the sun pierces the reek that spreads over us and soaks what it touches, and something like a fairy glade opens out in the midst of this gloom terrestrial.
Enfin le soleil perce cette buée qui s’étale sur nous et dont le contact nous trempe. C’est comme une clairière féerique qui s’ouvre au milieu des nuages terrestres.

We cannot see far around us in the damp reek; besides, we only look downwards at the mud in which we slide—"Porridge!"
On ne voit pas loin autour de soi, dans la fumée humide. D’ailleurs, on ne regarde que par terre, la vase où l’on glisse. – Mince de bouillasse !

All I do know and feel is that Delacroix's grand romantic scenes are foundering and splitting, that Courbet's black painting already reeks of the mustiness of a studio which the sun never penetrates.
Mais ce que je sens, c’est que le grand décor romantique de Delacroix craque et s’effondre; et c’est encore que la peinture noire de Courbet empoisonne déjà le renfermé, le moisi de l’atelier où le soleil n’entre jamais…
