==French text==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Apr&amp;amp;egrave;s le d&amp;amp;eacute;part des bandits, la rue Plumet reprit son tranquille aspect&lt;br /&gt;
nocturne.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Ce qui venait de se passer dans cette rue n'e&amp;amp;ucirc;t point &amp;amp;eacute;tonn&amp;amp;eacute; une for&amp;amp;ecirc;t.&lt;br /&gt;
Les futaies, les taillis, les bruy&amp;amp;egrave;res, les branches &amp;amp;acirc;prement&lt;br /&gt;
entre-crois&amp;amp;eacute;es, les hautes herbes, existent d'une mani&amp;amp;egrave;re sombre; le&lt;br /&gt;
fourmillement sauvage entrevoit l&amp;amp;agrave; les subites apparitions de&lt;br /&gt;
l'invisible; ce qui est au-dessous de l'homme y distingue &amp;amp;agrave; travers la&lt;br /&gt;
brume ce qui est au-del&amp;amp;agrave; de l'homme; et les choses ignor&amp;amp;eacute;es de nous&lt;br /&gt;
vivants s'y confrontent dans la nuit. La nature h&amp;amp;eacute;riss&amp;amp;eacute;e et fauve&lt;br /&gt;
s'effare &amp;amp;agrave; de certaines approches o&amp;amp;ugrave; elle croit sentir le surnaturel.&lt;br /&gt;
Les forces de l'ombre se connaissent, et ont entre elles de myst&amp;amp;eacute;rieux&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;amp;eacute;quilibres. Les dents et les griffes redoutent l'insaisissable. La&lt;br /&gt;
bestialit&amp;amp;eacute; buveuse de sang, les voraces app&amp;amp;eacute;tits affam&amp;amp;eacute;s en qu&amp;amp;ecirc;te de la&lt;br /&gt;
proie, les instincts arm&amp;amp;eacute;s d'ongles et de m&amp;amp;acirc;choires qui n'ont pour&lt;br /&gt;
source et pour but que le ventre, regardent et flairent avec inqui&amp;amp;eacute;tude&lt;br /&gt;
l'impassible lin&amp;amp;eacute;ament spectral r&amp;amp;ocirc;dant sous un suaire, debout dans sa&lt;br /&gt;
vague robe frissonnante, et qui leur semble vivre d'une vie morte et&lt;br /&gt;
terrible. Ces brutalit&amp;amp;eacute;s, qui ne sont que mati&amp;amp;egrave;re, craignent confus&amp;amp;eacute;ment&lt;br /&gt;
d'avoir affaire &amp;amp;agrave; l'immense obscurit&amp;amp;eacute; condens&amp;amp;eacute;e dans un &amp;amp;ecirc;tre inconnu.&lt;br /&gt;
Une figure noire barrant le passage arr&amp;amp;ecirc;te net la b&amp;amp;ecirc;te farouche. Ce qui&lt;br /&gt;
sort du cimeti&amp;amp;egrave;re intimide et d&amp;amp;eacute;concerte ce qui sort de l'antre; le&lt;br /&gt;
f&amp;amp;eacute;roce a peur du sinistre; les loups reculent devant une goule&lt;br /&gt;
rencontr&amp;amp;eacute;e.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
==English text==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
After the departure of the ruffians, the Rue Plumet resumed its tranquil,&lt;br /&gt;
nocturnal aspect. That which had just taken place in this street would not&lt;br /&gt;
have astonished a forest. The lofty trees, the copses, the heaths, the&lt;br /&gt;
branches rudely interlaced, the tall grass, exist in a sombre manner; the&lt;br /&gt;
savage swarming there catches glimpses of sudden apparitions of the&lt;br /&gt;
invisible; that which is below man distinguishes, through the mists, that&lt;br /&gt;
which is beyond man; and the things of which we living beings are ignorant&lt;br /&gt;
there meet face to face in the night. Nature, bristling and wild, takes&lt;br /&gt;
alarm at certain approaches in which she fancies that she feels the&lt;br /&gt;
supernatural. The forces of the gloom know each other, and are strangely&lt;br /&gt;
balanced by each other. Teeth and claws fear what they cannot grasp.&lt;br /&gt;
Blood-drinking bestiality, voracious appetites, hunger in search of prey,&lt;br /&gt;
the armed instincts of nails and jaws which have for source and aim the&lt;br /&gt;
belly, glare and smell out uneasily the impassive spectral forms straying&lt;br /&gt;
beneath a shroud, erect in its vague and shuddering robe, and which seem&lt;br /&gt;
to them to live with a dead and terrible life. These brutalities, which&lt;br /&gt;
are only matter, entertain a confused fear of having to deal with the&lt;br /&gt;
immense obscurity condensed into an unknown being. A black figure barring&lt;br /&gt;
the way stops the wild beast short. That which emerges from the cemetery&lt;br /&gt;
intimidates and disconcerts that which emerges from the cave; the&lt;br /&gt;
ferocious fear the sinister; wolves recoil when they encounter a ghoul.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
