I'm a Charlotte

I finally saw Lost In Translation. I loved it. I knew I would.

Talking about translation, I have this beautiful text to translate into French: it's from Stephen Crane's "Open Boat". Here's one sentence: "The mind of the master of a vessel is rooted deep in the timbers of her, though he commanded for a day or a decade, and this captain had on him the stern impression of a scene in the greys of dawn of seven turned faces, and later a stump of a top-mast with a white ball on it that slashed to and fro at the waves, went low and lower, and down."

To think I'm about to make a French mess of it!
