A new dream took possession of him; he thought no more of dying, but remained for hours with his feet in the mud, and a drizzle from the thaw falling on his shoulders, filled by the feverish hope that victory was still possible.
Un nouveau reve l'emporta, il ne songea plus a mourir, il resta des heures, les pieds dans la boue, la bruine du dégel sur les épaules, enfiévré par l'espoir d'une victoire encore possible.
