Book excerpt: Excerpt from Translations in Poetry and Prose Many of the translations in this volume, and particularly those from Gothe, may be regarded as belonging to the former class; while those from Herder, for instance, will find a place among the productions last mentioned. But however great a degree of pleasure these translations may be calculated to afford, one of the principal reasons, which has given rise to this publication, is to be found in the hope, that they may awaken or foster in the reader a lively desire of becoming acquainted with the originals.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Select Translations From Old English Prose Our thanks are due to those translators - all of them graduate students of English at Yale in the past or present - who have willingly collaborated with us. It became more and more evident, as we proceeded, that the older versions, such as those of Giles, are too inaccurate to be reproduced without modification; our only regret on this point is that new translations were not made in all such cases. We should be glad if this book might do something to extend and deepen the interest in the words and works of those who toiled, a millennium or more ago, that England and the world might live; and we could even wish that it might suggest a closer conformity to their simplicity, courage, and devotion to the things of the spirit.

I am tired of tears and laughter, And men that laugh and weep 5 Of what may come hereafter For men that sow to reap I am weary of days and hours, Blown buds Of barren flowers, Desires and dreams and powers And everything but sleep.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Translations of Eastern Poetry and Prose This book, containing versions from about fifty authors, may be of use to some who are interested in the two great literatures of Islam - Arabic and Persian. Theology, law, philosophy, science and medicine are scarcely touched, but the reader will learn something of Islamic history and religion, morals and manners, culture and character; something, too, of the heathen Arabs to whom Mohammed was sent. I have not, however, selected with a view to instruction. All the poetry, and the chief part of the prose, has been chosen for its merit as literature; and my choice was guided by the belief that translators do best in translating what they have enjoyed. If the present collection appeals in the first place to lovers of poetry and belles-lettres, it has gained in solidity and range of interest by including passages from famous biographers and historians like Ibn Hisham, Mas'udi, Tabari, and Ibn Khaldun, The extracts, which are mostly short and seldom run beyond the five pages allowed by such a good judge as Mr A. R. Waller, cover a period of a thousand years from the beginning of the 6th to the end of the I sth centurya.d. The arrangement is chronological, and in order to preserve the connexion of Persian with Arabian literary history Persian writers (distinguished by asterisks) keep their place in the series instead of being grouped apart.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prizes and Proximes: For Prose and Verse Translation With Some Original Poems A Preface is generally hard to read, and always hard to write. The Editor ventures therefore to reprint what he said last year in introducing a similar volume, entitled, "Prize Translations, Poems, and Parodies." It only remains for him to point out one or two differences which are also, he trusts, improvements. Several Prose Translations have been interspersed. Fewer alternative versions have been admitted. Some Translations and Original Poems, which were likely to have suffered a nine-years' imprisonment, not for the reason that Horace gave to his young friends, but because of the res angusta of he Journal, have obtained their Habeas Corpus. The multitude of translators is no guarantee of wisdom, but it is satisfactory to observe that the interest in the Translation Prizes has not flagged, and that for the "Golds and Reds," whose score is here printed, nearly 1800 arrows have been discharged - not all in vain, though here unrecorded.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dante's Divina Commedia: Translated Into English Prose Tms prose translation of the Divina Commedia is intended primarily for readers who are not acquainted with Italian, and it is for their sake that the brief footnotes which accompany it have been added. I am in hopes, however, that it may also be found serviceable by students of the original work, and for their guidance the numbers of the lines of Dante's poem have been introduced in the page-headings. In making this translation my aim has been to render the Poet's meaning as fully and clearly as was in my power without adhering too literally to the words; and at the same time to present the poem in a fairly readable form. A similar task has already been undertaken by capable hands, and certainly I have no wish to challenge comparison with their work; but apology seems hardly necessary for renewing the attempt, because every one may without presumption hope to contribute some thing towards the more perfect translation of the future. While I have been engaged on this, I have abstained from consulting other English translations; but occasionally words.

They are best defined by the title that he half suggested for them, Poems in Prose; for, while their form is that of prose, the subjects, the treatment, the imaginative setting, have all the charm and quality of poetry. It is believed that the reader will find enough beauty, pathos, and vividness in these pieces to pardon the in evitable pallor of a translation. This has at least been made with the utmost respect for the work of one of the greatest of our con temporaries.
