translate English to French: If the eager warmth of his blood makes him quick, hasty, and passionate, a moment later you see all his natural kindness of heart in the eagerness of his repentance; he weeps, he groans over the wound he has given, he wants to atone for the blood he has shed with his own. Faced with the sentiment of his wrong-doing, his anger dies away, his pride is humbled.
Est-il offensé lui-même: au fort de sa fureur, une excuse, un mot le désarme; il pardonne les torts d’autrui d’aussi bon coeur qu’il répare les siens.
