Above the tortured earth, this stampeded file of trunks stands forth against a striped brown sky, milky in places and obscurely sparkling—a sky of agate.
Par-dessus cette nature suppliciée et noire, la débandade des troncs se profile sur un ciel brun, strié, laiteux par places et obscurément scintillant – un ciel d’onyx.

When I reached Clochegourde after fulfilling my mission in Vendee, I was dressed like a huntsman; I wore a jacket with white and red buttons, striped trousers, leathern gaiters and shoes.
Quand je revins à Clochegourde lors de ma mission en Vendée, j’étais vêtu comme un chasseur. Je portais une veste verte à boutons blancs rougis, un pantalon à raies, des guêtres de cuir et des souliers.

It was a boundless vista, with grey seas of olive-trees, and vineyards that looked like huge pieces of striped cloth. The whole country was magnified by the clearness of the atmosphere and the peaceful cold.
C’était une échappée sans bornes, des mers grises d’oliviers, des vignobles pareils à de vastes pièces d’étoffe rayée, toute une contrée agrandie par la netteté de l’air et la paix du froid.

And during that time of illumination that I passed in two senses, I could see my baby as well, stretching her hands out to a great striped simpleton and trying to climb on his knee; and then, just by, who do you think I recognized?
Et pendant l’temps d’éclair que j’ai passé dans les deux sens, j’ai pu voir aussi ma gosse qui tendait les mains vers un gros bonhomme galonné et essayait de lui monter sur les genoux, et puis, à côté, qui donc ça que j’reconnaissais ?

Euterpe, the cyclist, passes and gives us good-day. Then he turns in his tracks and draws from the cuff of his coat-sleeve an envelope, whose protruding edge had conferred a white stripe on him.
Le cycliste Euterpe, que nous avons revu depuis, passe et nous dit bonjour. Une fois passé, il revient sur ses pas et tire du parement de sa manche une enveloppe dont le bord dépassant lui faisait un galon blanc.

On this particular morning Madame de Mortsauf wore a rose-colored gown patterned in tiny stripes, a collar with a wide hem, a black belt, and little boots of the same hue.
Ce jour-là madame de Mortsauf avait une robe rose à mille raies, une collerette à large ourlet, une ceinture noire et des brodequins de cette même couleur.
