Title	PensÃ©e lyrique sur le laurier
Text Submitted by Myrddin	Source language: French Le laurier est l'apanage des hÃ©ros et distille toujours son parfum discret dans l'obscuritÃ© du monde.
Remarks about the translation	Traduction voulue : gaÃ©lique d'Irlande "apanage" est Ã prendre ici au sens figurÃ©, Ã savoir une caractÃ©ristique propre. "laurier" concerne la plante en gÃ©nÃ©ral, celle que l'on pose sur la tÃªte des laurÃ©ats... Pour un sens plus large, et en cas de traductions diffÃ©rentes suivant les espÃ¨ces, privilÃ©gier le "laurier sauce". Merci !
