D.H. Lawrence: "It is as if the life had retreated eastwards. As if…"

Un aphorisme de D.H. Lawrence:

It is as if the life had retreated eastwards. As if the Germanic life were slowly ebbing away from contact with western Europe, ebbing to the deserts of the east.

Traduction automatique:

C’est comme si la vie s’était retirée vers l’est. Comme si la vie germanique ont été lentement m’échapper de tout contact avec l’Europe occidentale, reflux vers les déserts de l’Est.
