The tide was running out pretty rapidly when they reached the landing- stage, and there was a stiff breeze blowing across the river, but this did not trouble them at all, and they proceeded to select their boat.Quand ils arrivèrent à l’embarcadère, la marée descendait rapidement et une forte brise soufflait sur le fleuve. Mais cela ne les inquiéta pas du tout, et ils allèrent choisir leur bateau.Jerome, Jerome Klapka / Three Men in a BoatJerome, Jerome Klapka / Trois hommes dans le bateauTrois hommes dans le bateauJerome, Jerome KlapkaThree Men in a BoatJerome, Jerome Klapka

Darkness was still coming on; after gradually collecting in the corners, it rose like a slow, inexorable tide, first submerging the legs of the chairs and the table, all the confusion of things that littered the tiled floor.La nuit continuait à se faire, une nuit dont le flot peu à peu amassé dans les coins, montait d’une crue lente, inexorable, submergeant les pieds de la table et des chaises, toute la confusion des choses traînant sur le carreau.Zola, Emile / His MasterpieceZola, Emile / L'OeuvreL'OeuvreZola, EmileHis MasterpieceZola, Emile

In the ranks one sees nothing. Sometimes, when one can lift his nose up, by grace of an eddy in the tide, one cannot help seeing the whiteness of a mess-tin, the blue steel of a helmet, the black steel of a rifle.Dans le rang, on ne voit rien : parfois, quand on a le nez dessus à la suite d’un remous, on est bien forcé de discerner le fer-blanc d’une gamelle l’acier bleuté d’un casque, l’acier noir d’un fusil.Barbusse, Henri / Under fireBarbusse, Henri / Le feuLe feuBarbusse, Henri© BELENUS, 2008Under fireBarbusse, Henri© 1917 by E.

As for the inquisitive folk on the pavement they only saw the backs of the guards. Still this did not prevent a crush. The human tide flowed on from all sides with increasing clamour.Quant aux curieux du pavé, ils ne voyaient que les dos des gardes, ce qui n’empêchait pas l’écrasement de cette marée humaine, dont on entendait monter la clameur croissante.Zola, Emile / The Three Cities - ParisZola, Emile / Les Trois Villes - ParisLes Trois Villes - ParisZola, EmileThe Three Cities - ParisZola, Emile
