Hello dears,
Voici une réflexion sur la disparition d'Anna...
Un peu moins facile à mettre en forme, ce texte...
A vous de jouer... euh, pardon ! A vous de travailler !
Translate into French, please:
If Vladimir Machtei wanted to know Anna’s whereabouts he could have written
to her grandparents. In all the years we had been in America, he never showed
a sign of life. Deep inside me, I knew the tragic and unbelievable truth:
that Anna was by nature or fate – call it as you like- a person born to lose
and to be lost. She lost her money, her possessions, her fiancé. She might have
lost the child too if she had not got lost herself. I say « deep in me » because
my reason would never accept anything so irrational. What does it mean? How can
a thing become nothing? The Pyramids have stood in place for six thousand years,
and unless there is an unusual earthquake, they may last for another six thousand,
or sixty thousand. In the British Museum and here in the Metropolitan, you find
mummies and artifacts that have endured for many centuries. If matter can turn to
nothing, all of nature is a nightmare. This is what my logic dictates to me.
Isaac Bashevis Singer, A Crown of Feathers.
