- Le pavé de Paris avait beau être là tout autour, les hôtels classiques et splendides de la rue de Varenne à deux pas, le dôme des Invalides tout près, la Chambre des députés pas loin; les carrosses de la rue de Bourgogne et de la rue Saint-Dominique avaient beau rouler fastueusement dans le voisinage, les omnibus jaunes, bruns, blancs, rouges avaient beau se croiser dans le carrefour **prochain**, le désert était rue Plumet; et la mort des anciens propriétaires, une révolution qui avait passé, l'écroulement des antiques fortunes, l'absence, l'oubli, quarante ans d'abandon et de viduité, avaient suffi pour ramener dans ce lieu privilégié les fougères, les bouillons-blancs, les ciguës, les achillées, les digitales, les hautes herbes, les grandes plantes gaufrées aux larges feuilles de drap vert pâle, les lézards, les scarabées, les insectes inquiets et rapides; pour faire sortir des profondeurs de la terre et reparaître entre ces quatre murs je ne sais quelle grandeur sauvage et farouche; et pour que la nature, qui déconcerte les arrangements mesquins de l'homme et qui se répand toujours tout entière là où elle se répand, aussi bien dans la fourmi que dans l'aigle, en vînt à s'épanouir dans un méchant petit jardin parisien avec autant de rudesse et de majesté que dans une forêt vierge du Nouveau Monde.
  It was of no avail that the pavements of Paris were there on every side, the classic and splendid hotels of the Rue de Varennes a couple of paces away, the dome of the Invalides close at hand, the Chamber of Deputies not far off; the carriages of the Rue de Bourgogne and of the Rue Saint-Dominique rumbled luxuriously, in vain, in the vicinity, in vain did the yellow, brown, white, and red omnibuses cross each other’s course at the neighboring crossroads; the Rue Plumet was the desert; and the death of the former proprietors, the revolution which had passed over it, the crumbling away of ancient fortunes, absence, forgetfulness, forty **years** of abandonment and widowhood, had sufficed to restore to this privileged spot ferns, mulleins, hemlock, yarrow, tall weeds, great crimped plants, with large leaves of pale green cloth, lizards, beetles, uneasy and rapid insects; to cause to spring forth from the depths of the earth and to reappear between those four walls a certain indescribable and savage grandeur; and for nature, which disconcerts the petty arrangements of man, and which sheds herself always thoroughly where she diffuses herself at all, in the ant as well as in the eagle, to blossom out in a petty little Parisian garden with as much rude force and majesty as in a virgin forest of the New World.
