You could dictate that, but you could not dictate the Place Contrescarpe where the flower sellers dyed their flowers in the street and the dye ran over the paving where the autobus started and the old men and the women, always drunk on wine and bad marc; and the children with their noses running in the cold; the smell of dirty sweat and poverty and drunkenness at the Café des Amateurs and the whores at the Bal Musette they lived above. The Concierge who entertained the trooper of the Garde Republicaine in her loge his horse-hair-plumed helmet on a chair. The locataire across the hall whose husband was a bicycle racer and her joy that morning at the Cremerie when she had opened L'Auto and seen where he placed third in Paris-Tours his first big race. She had blushed and laughed and then gone upstairs crying with the yellow sporting paper in her hand. The husband of the woman who ran the Bal Musette drove a taxi and when he, Harry, had to take an early plane the husband knocked upon the door to wake him and they each drank a glass of white wine at the zinc of the bar before they started. He knew his neighbors in that quarter then because they all were poor.

Around that Place there were two kinds (вокруг той площади жили два рода = две категории /людей/) ; the drunkards and the sportifs (пьяницы и спортсмены /фр./ ) . The drunkards killed their poverty that way (пьяницы глушили свою нищету пьянством: «тем = своим способом») ; the sportifs took it out in exercise (спортсмены изводили ее тренировками; to take out — вынимать; удалять; разрушать, уничтожать ) . They were the descendants of the Communards (они были потомками коммунаров) and it was no struggle for them to know their politics (и для них не составляло труда выработать свои политические убеждения; struggle — борьба; напряжение, усилие; politics — политика; политические убеждения ) . They knew who had shot their fathers (они знали, кто расстрелял их отцов) , their relatives, their brothers, and their friends (их родственников, их братьев и их друзей) when the Versailles troops came in and took the town after the Commune (когда версальские войска вошли и заняли город после Коммуны) and executed any one they could catch with calloused hands (и казнили любого, кого /только/ могли поймать, если у него были мозолистые руки; calloused — загрубелый, затвердевший; мозолистый ) , or who wore a cap (или кепка на голове: «кто носил кепку») , or carried any other sign he was a working man (или какой-то другой признак того, что он рабочий человек: «носил какой-нибудь другой знак…») . And in that poverty, and in that quarter across the street from a Boucherie Chevaline [21] Boucherie Chevaline (фр.) — “Торговля кониной”. and a wine co-operative (и среди этой нищеты и в этом квартале, на другой стороне улицы от "Boucherie Chevaline" и винного кооператива) he had written the start of all he was to do (он написал начало = то, что стало началом всего, что ему предстояло сделать) .

There never was another part of Paris that he loved like that (никогда не было другой части Парижа, какую бы он любил так же) , the sprawling trees (развесистые деревья; to sprawl — расползаться во все стороны, простираться, раскидываться ) , the old white plastered houses painted brown below (старые белые оштукатуренные дома, покрашенные внизу коричневой краской) , the long green of the autobus in that round square (длинная зеленая туша: «зелень» автобуса на круглой площади) , the purple flower dye upon the paving (пурпурная/лиловая краска от /бумажных/ цветов на мостовой) , the sudden drop down the hill of the rue Cardinal Lemoine to the River (неожиданно крутой спуск к реке, на улицу /фр./ Кардинала Лемуана; drop — капля; падение; спуск; hill — холм, небольшая гора; возвышенность; склон ) , and the other way the narrow crowded world of the rue Mouffetard (а по другую сторону — узкий, тесный мирок улицы Муфтар; crowded — переполненный, тесный; crowd — толпа, скопление людей; to crowd — давить, толкать ) . The street that ran up toward the Pantheon (улица, которая поднималась к Пантеону) and the other that he always took with the bicycle (и другая, по которой он всегда ездил на велосипеде) , the only asphalted street in all that quarter (единственная асфальтированная улица во всем районе) , smooth under the tires (гладкая под шинами) , with the high narrow houses (с высокими, узкими домами) and the cheap tall hotel where Paul Verlaine had died (и дешевой высокой гостиницей, где умер Поль Верлен) . There were only two rooms in the apartments where they lived (в квартире, в которой они жили, было только две комнаты) and he had a room on the top floor of that hotel (и он снимал комнату в верхнем этаже этой гостиницы) that cost him sixty francs a month (которая стоила = стоившую ему шестьдесят франков в месяц) where he did his writing (где он работал; writing — писание /процесс/ ) , and from it he could see the roofs (и из нее = оттуда ему были видны крыши) and chimney pots (и трубы; chimney — дымоход; pot — горшок, котелок, кастрюля; chimney pot — труба, которой заканчивается дымоход ) and all the hills of Paris (и все холмы Парижа) .
