The fierce snarl behind him had now grown gentle and coaxing, and he only felt on his shoulder a soft velvety pressure, as though some giant cat were lightly caressing him.
Le grondement fauve, derrière lui, se faisait câlin. Il ne sentait plus sur sa nuque que la douceur d'une patte de velours, comme si quelque chat géant l'eût caressé.

As they might not spread themselves on the falling earth that was ready to spread itself on them, they have supported each other, clasping each other's shoulder; and thus plunged in the ground up to their knees, they have gone to sleep.
Comme ils ne pouvaient pas s’étendre sur le sol qui se dérobait et voulait s’étendre sur eux, ils se sont penchés l’un vers l’autre, se sont empoignés aux épaules, et se sont endormis, enfoncés jusqu’aux genoux dans la glaise.

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!
