Le laurier est l'apanage des héros et distille toujours son parfum discret dans l'obscurité du monde. | Remarks about the translation | Traduction voulue : gaélique d'Irlande
"apanage" est à prendre ici au sens figuré, à savoir une caractéristique propre.
"laurier" concerne la plante en général, celle que l'on pose sur la tête des lauréats... Pour un sens plus large, et en cas de traductions différentes suivant les espèces, privilégier le "laurier sauce".
Merci ! |

"... decoration and always distills its discrete perfume into the darkness of the world."
That would read better:
".....decoration and its discrete perfume always seeps into the darkness....."
What do you think?

Undoubtedly, "seeps" would be more poetical than "destills", but I fear some loss in the overall meaning...  | | |

But are you sure about : "THE laurel" ?
=> Laurel is the heroes' decoration and always seeps its discrete perfume into the darkness of the world. |
