And beyond, in the flat plain, shade had submerged everything, Montsou, Marchiennes, the forest of Vandame, the immense sea of beetroot and of wheat, in which there only shone, like distant lighthouses, the blue fires of the blast furnaces, and the red fires of the coke ovens.
Et, au-dela, dans la plaine rase, l'ombre avait tout submergé, Montsou, Marchiennes, la foret de Vandame, la vaste mer de betteraves et de blé, ou ne luisaient plus, comme des phares lointains, que les feux bleus des hauts fourneaux et les feux rouges des fours a coke.
