And they would take her from me again! And now, when she is beautiful, when she is grown up, when she speaks to me, when she loves me; it is now that they would come to devour her, before my very eyes, and I her mother!
Et on me la reprendrait ! et c’est maintenant qu’elle est belle, qu’elle est grande, qu’elle me parle, qu’elle m’aime, c’est maintenant qu’ils viendraient me la manger, sous mes yeux à moi qui suis la mère !
