Lit up (fr. Allumait)

Translation into English

Lorsque les ténebres finissaient par l'hébéter, par lui peser sur le crâne a le rendre fou, il allumait un instant; puis, des qu'il avait chassé le cauchemar, il éteignait, avare de cette clarté nécessaire a sa vie, autant que le pain.
When the darkness began to stupefy him, weighing on his skull almost to madness, he would light up for a moment; then, as soon as he had chased away the nightmare, he extinguished the candle, miserly of this brightness which was as necessary to his life as bread.
