“Et leur chanson se mêle au clair de lune, / Au calme clair de lune triste et beau, / Qui fait rêver les oiseaux dans les arbres / Et sangloter d'extase les jets d'eau, / Les grands jets d'eau sveltes parmi les marbres.” — And their song blends with the moonlight, / With the sad and beautiful moonlight, / Which sets the birds in the trees dreaming, / And makes the fountains sob with ecstasy, / The tall slim water streams among the marble statues.
Inherited from Middle French mesler, from Old French mesler, from Early Medieval Latin misculāre, derived from Latin miscēre.
