Translations for damask in French
Here are paragraphs from public domain books translated:
On looking around him, however, as he could perceive no threatening object, as nothing indicated that he ran any real danger, as the bench was comfortably covered with a well-stuffed cushion, as the wall was ornamented with a beautiful Cordova leather, and as large red damask curtains, fastened back by gold clasps, floated before the window, he perceived by degrees that his fear was exaggerated, and he began to turn his head to the right and the left, upward and downward. At this movement, which nobody opposed, he resumed a little courage, and ventured to draw up one leg and then the other. At length, with the help of his two hands he lifted himself from the bench, and found himself on his feet. | Cependant, comme en regardant autour de lui il ne voyait aucun objet menaçant, comme rien n’indiquait qu’il courût un danger réel, comme la banquette était convenablement rembourrée, comme la muraille était recouverte d’un beau cuir de Cordoue, comme de grands rideaux de damas rouge flottaient devant la fenêtre, retenus par des embrasses d’or, il comprit peu à peu que sa frayeur était exagérée et il commença de remuer la tête à droite et à gauche et de bas en haut. À ce mouvement, auquel personne ne s’opposa, il reprit un peu de courage et se risqua à remuer une jambe, puis l’autre ; enfin, en s’aidant de ses deux mains, il se souleva sur sa banquette et se trouva sur ses pieds. |
