Examples from texts

Can religion, then, be even more withering than science, since it has ravaged you like that, while I have yet remained an old madman, still full of fancies?"
La religion est-elle donc plus desséchante que la science, puisqu’elle t’a dévasté à ce point, lorsque je suis resté, moi, un vieux fou encore plein de chimères ! »

Her hair was only just turning white, and she had kept all her teeth, while her face still looked refined, though it was slowly withering with age and had acquired an expression of some severity.
Dans son éternelle robe noire, avec toutes ses dents encore et ses cheveux qui blanchissaient à peine, elle gardait son fin visage d’autrefois, mais séché et jauni, devenu d’une sévérité douce.

There the withered flowers, stifled by their own perfumes, exhaled but the faint odour of dead beauty.
Les fleurs, fanées, étouffées dans leur propre parfum, ne mettaient plus là que la senteur fade de leur chair morte.

I could distinguish her pale, beautiful features. Her cheek was wan with weeping, and her rich golden hair hung dishevelled from her shoulders, reaching to the withers of her horse.
Je distinguais ses beaux traits couverts de pâleur, ses joues baignées de larmes, sa riche chevelure dorée qui pendait, dénouée, sur ses épaules, tombant jusque sur le cou de son cheval.

The young man seemed to be stricken with a sort of dizzy stupor, his eyes receded farther and farther into the depth of their dark sockets, whilst his whole face became withered, aged as it were, and covered with an earthy pallor.
Il semblait frappé d’une stupeur de vertige, ses yeux s’enfonçaient de plus en plus au fond des orbites noires, tandis que la face entière se desséchait, vieillissait à vue d’œil, envahie d’une ombre grise, couleur de la terre.

This woman, whose feelings and passions had withered in the zealous virginity of a fanatic, experienced a vague sensation that there was awakening in her the yearning of wife and mother which exists in every maiden's nature.
Cette femme, dont le cœur et la chair avaient séché dans une virginité ardente de fanatique, sentit vaguement se réveiller en elle l’épouse et la mère qu’il y a au fond de toute vierge.

A woman who renews her life from that of her beloved gives, perhaps, a greater proof of feeling than she who dies killed by a doubt, withered on her stock for want of sap; I know not which of the two is the more touching.
Une femme qui revit sous les regards de l’aimé donne peut être une plus grande preuve de sentiment que celle qui meurt tuée par un doute, ou séchée sur sa tige, faute de sève; je ne sais qui des deux est la plus touchante.
