Can't resist it...too good... (Leonids report from..somewhere over here)

Yes, a fantastic package of clouds, advancing above cities, advancing in tight rows, compact, impenetrable; feeding the vain wraths with rainy banters; expressing unutterable blasphemes charging a mocking sky so that it can better throw clouds very low, mixed with rain and thus, full of derision, salute or powerlessness...Ahh, those vile rascals! Those those rogues!
Those amateur astronomer swashbucklers ! O ungrateful sky, to do that to us, us who for your greatest glory stroke you with our eyes, with our instruments, with our most seeked artfullness, with our deepest thoughts, with our most daring equations, us who are probing you with millions ...Insurrection! Mutiny! Parricide, Regicide, Heavenicide!!
O ignominous rage, we were disdained a villain way by the one we cherish, paint, study, map since the beginning of time. Treason! Felony! Scandal! Curse the sky!

Oui, un magnifique paquet de nuages, s'avancant au dessus des villes en
rangs serres, compacts, impenetrables; abreuvant les vains courroux de
pluvieuses railleries; dressant d'indicibles blasphemes a l'assaut d' un
ciel moqueur, pour ensuite les mieux jeter bas, meles de pluie, et ainsi
plein de derision saluer notre impuissance ... AAAH Les Vils Coquins !
Les Soudards ! Les Marauds ! Les Pourfendeurs d'astronomes amateurs ! O Ciel
ingras, nous faire ca a nous qui, pour ta plus grande gloire, te
carressons de nos yeux, de nos instruments, de nos astuces les plus recherchees, de
nos reflexions les plus profondes, de nos equations les plus osees, nous qui
te sondons a grands renforts de millions etc...<< Insurrection ! Mutinerie !
Parricide ! Regicide ! Caelicide !>>
O Rage Ignominieuse, nous fumes meprises de vilaine facon par celui que
nous
choyons, peignons, versifions, etudions, cartographions depuis la nuit des
temps ! Trahison ! Felonie ! Scandale ! Ahhhh !! Maudit soit le ciel
