Examples from texts

But, in truth, he was gaping with weariness, gazing in despair on the Nile, the Sphinx, Memphis, the pyramids, and even doing his utmost to think of the mummies, although without any satisfactory result
Mais, à la vérité, il s’ennuyait de toute la largeur de ses mâchoires, regardant d’un œil désespéré le Nil, les sphinx, Memphis, les pyramides, s’efforçant même de penser aux momies, sans grands résultats.

Sidoine, possessing no exact historical knowledge, looked upon the Nile as a muddy brook; as for the Sphinx and obelisks, they seemed to him heaps of gravel of a peculiar and extremely ugly shape.
Sidoine, n’ayant pas en histoire des connaissances bien précises, regarda le Nil comme un ruisseau boueux ; quant aux sphinx et aux obélisques, ils lui parurent des graviers d’une forme singulière et fort laide.

Had not the head of a colossal statue been found, mingled with fragments of huge sphinxes, at the foot of yonder vase-shaped mass of bricks?
N’était-ce pas ici, au pied de ce massif de briques, affectant l’étrange forme d’un grand vase, qu’on avait trouvé la tête d’une statue colossale, mêlée à des débris d’énormes sphinx ?
