Translations for dew in French
Here are paragraphs from public domain books translated:
"How long I remained unconscious I cannot tell. It must have been a very long time, for the moon had sunk, and a bright morning was breaking when I came to myself. My clothes were all sodden with dew, and my coat-sleeve was drenched with blood from my wounded thumb. The smarting of it recalled in an instant all the particulars of my night's adventure, and I sprang to my feet with the feeling that I might hardly yet be safe from my pursuers. But, to my astonishment, when I came to look round me, neither house nor garden were to be seen. I had been lying in an angle of the hedge close by the high-road, and just a little lower down was a long building, which proved, upon my approaching it, to be the very station at which I had arrived upon the previous night. Were it not for the ugly wound upon my hand, all that had passed during those dreadful hours might have been an evil dream. | Je ne saurais dire combien de temps je restai sans connaissance. Cela a dû être fort long, car la lune avait disparu et le jour commençait à poindre quand je revins à moi. Mes vêtements étaient humides de rosée, et ma manche trempée de sang. La douleur de ma blessure me rappela en un instant tous les incidents de la nuit, et je me relevai d’un bond à l’idée que je pouvais encore être poursuivi. Mais quel fut mon étonnement, en regardant autour de moi, de ne plus voir, ni maison, ni jardin. J’étais au coin d’une haie, près de la grand’route, et tout à côté, se trouvait une longue construction que je reconnus, en m’approchant, pour être la station même, où j’étais descendu la nuit précédente. Sans ma vilaine blessure, tout ce qui s’était passé pendant ces terribles heures aurait pu n’être qu’un mauvais rêve. |
