And nature forced the men,
Before the woman kind, to work the wool:
For all the male kind far excels in skill,
And

The rugged farmer folk jeered at such tasks,
And so were eager soon to give them o'er
To women's hands, and in more hardy toil
To harden arms and hands.

He does not know that
sickening
thirst
That sands one's throat, before
The hangman with his gardener's gloves
Slips through the padded door,
And binds one with three leathern thongs,
That the throat may thirst no more.

The fisher on his watery way
Wandering
at the close of day,
Will spread his sail and seize his oar
Till he pass the gloomy shore,
Lest thy dead should, from their sleep
Bursting o'er the starlight deep,
Lead a rapid masque of death
O'er the waters of his path.

jusqu’au viaduc, dont les enjambées de pierre commençaient à la gare
et me représentaient
l’exil
et la détresse hors du monde civilisé
parce que chaque année en venant de Paris, on nous recommandait de
faire bien attention, quand ce serait Combray, de ne pas laisser
passer la station, d’être prêts d’avance car le train repartait au
bout de deux minutes et s’engageait sur le viaduc au delà des pays
chrétiens dont Combray marquait pour moi l’extrême limite.
