Yet the Banca d'Italia, with its brand-new ugliness, its chalky hugeness, looked to him like a phantom in a shroud; whilst above a dim expanse of gardens the Quirinal formed but a black streak barring the heavens.
La Banque, cependant, avec sa laideur neuve, son énormité crayeuse encore, lui fit l’effet d’un fantôme promenant son linceul dans la nuit ; tandis qu’en haut des jardins confus, le Quirinal n’était qu’une ligne noire, barrant le ciel.

' There was a big crack in the ceiling: this crack, which was oozing with damp, was bordered with rust-coloured spots, and the bare cold plaster was thus divided, from one end to the other, by a yellow-looking streak.
Une crevasse traversait le plafond; cette crevasse suintant d’humidité, se bordait de taches couleur de rouille, et le plâtre, nu et froid, se trouvait ainsi coupé, d’un bout à un autre, par une bande jaunâtre.

There was a streak of blood visible on his brown body, but the wound, wherever it was did not seem to hinder him in his flight.
On pouvait voir une traînée de sang sur son corps brun; mais la blessure, quelle qu'elle fût, ne semblait pas le gêner dans sa fuite.

At their feet flowed the brook, a silver streak gliding noiselessly over the sand; here and there were little waterfalls whose crystal tones seemed as though they proceeded from a shepherd's flute.
À leurs pieds coulait le ruisseau, un filet d’argent qui fuyait silencieusement sur le sable; il y avait, de loin en loin, de petites chutes dont les bruits de cristal semblaient sortir d’une flûte champêtre.

And to southward other wreaths of smoke, numbers of them, could be seen, all converging towards the Havre pier, now scarcely visible as a white streak with the lighthouse, upright, like a horn, at the end of it.
Vers le sud on voyait encore d'autres fumées, nombreuses, venant toutes vers la jetée du Havre dont on distinguait à peine la ligne blanche et le phare, droit comme une corne sur le bout.

There came a moment when the city was a mere thin grey streak, speckled whitely here and there by a few sunlit house-fronts.
Il vint un moment où elle ne fut plus, au ras de l’horizon, qu’une mince raie grise, à peine étoilée de blanc par quelques façades ensoleillées.

Then, in the middle of the laboratory, he shuddered as he saw the narrow streak of blood which had come from his father's skull and trickled right under the stove.
Puis là, au milieu du laboratoire, il apercevait en frissonnant le mince filet de sang qui s’était échappé du crâne de son père et qui avait coulé jusque sous le fourneau.

An object was hanging from the old man's belt, like a streak of snow-white flax. But it was not that. It was hair. It was a scalp!
Quelque chose pendait à la ceinture du vieux trappeur: on eut dit un écheveau de lin blanc comme la neige, mais ce n'était pas cela; c'était une chevelure, c'était un scalp.

Then, as soon as a white streak of light on the ceiling announced the approaching day, he felt himself free, alone at last, alone in his room; and he went to sleep.
Puis, dès qu'une ligne blanche apparaissait au plafond, annonçant le jour prochain, il se sentait délivré, seul enfin, seul dans sa chambre; et il se recouchait.

The streak of light had appeared on the water a short distance from the point, and either the rifle had been discharged from a canoe hovering near the land, or it had been fired from the ark in passing.
La lueur qui avait précédé l’explosion avait formé une ligne sur l’eau à peu de distance de la pointe ; le coup de mousquet devait donc avoir été tiré à bord soit d’une pirogue, soit de l’arche, passant près de la pointe.
