Examples from texts

If I could snatch away from that world of nature, which you extol, its kirtle of sunshine and its girdle of greenery, you would see it hideous like a very fury, a skeleton, rotting away with disease and vice.
Si j'arrachais à ta nature sa jupe de soleil, sa ceinture de feuillage, tu la verrais hideuse comme une mégère, avec des côtes de squelette, toute mangée de vices...
