Un conducteur échappe in extremis à un glissement de terrain

(2022-05-22_11-35-11)


Lundi, la caméra d’un conducteur a filmé le moment où il a échappé de justesse à un glissement de terrain spectaculaire dans la campagne taïwanaise. Ce dernier était sorti de sa voiture pour dégager des rochers de la route lorsqu’il a entendu un grondement provenant de la colline.


Even in the moment of our earliest kiss,
When sighed the straitened bud into the flower,
Sat the dry seed of most unwelcome this;
And that I knew, though not the day and hour.
Too season-wise am I, being country-bred,
To tilt at autumn or defy the frost:
Snuffing the chill even as my fathers did,
I say with them, "What's out tonight is lost."
I only hoped, with the mild hope of all
Who watch the leaf take shape upon the tree,
A fairer summer and a later fall
Than in these parts a man is apt to see,
And sunny clusters ripened for the wine:
I tell you this across the blackened vine.
-- Edna St. Vincent Millay, "Even in the Moment of
Our Earliest Kiss", 1931
