Today’s assignment is to attempt to translate a quote from another language that I do not speak.

The quote:  “L’amour est l’emblème de l’éternité, il confond toute la notion de temps, efface toute la mémoire d’un commencement, toute la crainte d’une extrémité.”

Madame de Staël

My translation:  Love is an eternal symbol, though sometimes it feels fleeting, that begins by making memories, and turns into the ultimate expression.

Here is the actual translation:

“Love is the emblem of eternity; it confounds all notion of time, effaces all memory of a beginning, all fear of an end.”

Madame de Staël
