Quotes
- “It is this principle [i.e. the interpretation of an original] which constitutes the true value of a really good translation—not as superseding the original even to the worst scholar, but as explaining it even to the best.”
- “An inferior artist's only chance of giving pleasure.”
- “Blank verse really deserving the name I believe to be impossible except to one or two eminent writers in a generation.”
- “There are few writers whose text is in so satisfactory a state as Virgil's.”
- “Virgil imitated Homer, but imitated him as a rival, not as a disciple.”
- “In the moment of our talking, envious time has ebb'd away.Seize the present; trust to-morrow e'en as little as you may.”
