Seuls, l'allumeur de l'unique réverbère de pôle Nord, et son confrère de l'unique réverbère du pôle Sud, menaient des vies d'oisiveté et de nonchalance: ils travaillaient deux fois par an.
Only the man who was in charge of the single lamp at the North Pole, and his colleague who was responsible for the single lamp at the South Pole, only these two would live free from toil and care: they would be busy twice a year.
