There is a short, ghastly struggle that ends in their mutual destruction. The sand is precipitated to the earth, and the dust floats off in dun, shapeless masses.
Un choc court et violent provoque leur mutuelle destruction; le sable retombe sur la terre, et un nuage de poussière flotte au-dessus, se dissipant peu à peu.

Les dunes jouent un rôle écologique, car elles protègent les milieux humides en empêchant que le sable balayé par le vent ne les envahisse et en faisant obstacle à l'action des fortes vagues du lac Ontario.

Apart from the woods there was only uncultivated land on the estate, marshes, patches of sand, and fields of stones and for centuries past the opinion of the district had been that no agriculturist could ever turn the expanse to good account.
En dehors des bois, il n’y avait là que des terrains incultes, des marécages, des sables, des champs de pierrailles, et l’opinion légendaire, dans le pays, était que jamais cultivateur n’en tirerait rien de bon.
