The Libation Bearers, 61-65 (Trans. Smyth: But the balance of Justice keeps watch: swiftly it descends on those in the light; sometimes pain waits for those who linger on the frontier of twilight; and others are claimed by strengthless night.).
ῥοπὴ δ᾽ ἐπισκοπεῖ δίκας
ταχεῖα τοὺς μὲν ἐν φάει,
τὰ δ᾽ ἐν μεταιχμίῳ σκότου
μένει χρονίζοντας ἄχη βρύει,
τοὺς δ᾽ ἄκραντος ἔχει νύξ.

Une Dentelle S’abolit (Mallarmé)
Une dentelle s’abolit
Dans le soute du Jeu Supreme
A n’ entr’ ouvrir comme un blaspheme
Qu’absence eternelle de lit.
Cet unanime blanc conflit
D’une guirlande avec la meme,
Enfui contre la vitre bleme
Flotte plus qu’il n’ensevelit.
Mais, chez qui du reve se dore
Tristement dort une mandore
Au creux neant musicien
Tell que vers quelque fenetre
Selon nul ventre que le sien,
Filial on aurait pu naitre.

Glacis
October 8, 2017Stendhal, Life of Henri Brulard:
The glacis of the Porte de Bonne was covered with daisies. They were pretty little flowers, and I was picking a bunch of them. This meadow, as it was in 1786, is no doubt nowadays in the middle of the town, to the south of the collegiate church.
in military engineering is an artificial slope of earth used in late European fortresses so constructed as to keep any potential assailant under the fire of the defenders until the last possible moment.
