Voici ce que j'avais fait (avec aide, vu que c'était le premier devoir, elle nous a demandé de prendre du temps, de réfléchir, de ne pas le faire en temps d'épreuve, donc encore plus flippant dans un sens, 106 pts fautes en ayant pu réfléchir et tout et tout.... >_<) :
In
the middle of the garden, the wooden gloriette stands erected, finely crafted
like a moucharaby. Ivy and honeysuckle are entwined together, taking the shape
of a dome where the green colour shifts in hues, from an almost black shade to
the light tint of a pistachio green, of a pale apple-green. Then, according to
the time of day and season, the green shifts in bronze, blueish, golden,
absinthe tones.
Now
that the afternoon comes to an end, its shade is filled with different
scents, it shivers and rustles with
a soft wind blowing and bees buzzing. It has the roundness and the richness of
a woman’s breast. In this lukewarm tiny green world, full of honeyed scents,
Charlam is sipping cold tea. It is an almost pitch black tea, in which some
drops of lemon have been added, hence its garnet colour glints. He is having some sugar dissolve, cube
after cube, in a teaspoon which he lays on the beverage’s edge. Once the white sugar cube has turned
into an ochre rounded oval lump, he brings the spoon to his lips and slowly
swallow its liquid content. ‘How many grains of sugar can there be in this
dissolving cube? he wonders, while enjoying his sip. ‘Are there as many grains
as days I have lived until today ? Fewer, more?’
He
closes his eyes, dozing off for a while. His memory melts away, in the manner
of the sugar lump moistened with tea, and dissolves in tiny grains, but it is
now shreds of images, of feelings, of memories. All these remnants are from the past, for the present time
hardly comes to visit him when he dreams. However, it keeps him company when he
is awake. For he has lost nothing of his splendor, on the contrary. The older
he grows, the wiser he becomes.
Bilan : va vraiment falloir que je bosse la trad' ...
j'aimerais détailler plus, mais je n'ai pas le temps ni l'envie. Ecrire un billet de blog me demande pas mal de temps, je m'en rends compte, je ne pense donc pas pouvoir continuer à écrire longtemps.
On verra.
