Quotes
- “To the European poet the relation between man and woman is a thing of supreme importance and mystery. To the Chinese, it is something commonplace, obvious—a need of the body, not a satisfaction of the emotions.”
- “Since the classical language has an easy grammar and limited vocabulary, a few months should suffice for the mastering of it.”
- “I have not used rhyme, because what is really, in the long run, of most interest to American readers is what the poems say; and if one uses rhyme, it is impossible not to sacrifice sense to sound.”
- “When translating prose dialogue one ought to make the characters say things that people talking English could conceivably say. One ought to hear them talking, just as a novelist hears his characters talk.”
- “Anyone with a good classical education could learn Chinese by himself without difficulty.”
- “Real things in the darkness seem no realer than dreams.”
