Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download or read book Translations of Eastern Poetry and Prose Classic Reprint written by Reynold Alleyne Nicholson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-25 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download or read book Dante s Divina Commedia written by Dante Alighieri and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 458 pages. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poems in Prose This little volume contains a translation of what are among the last things written by Tourgueneff. 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.

Download or read book Poems and Translations Classic Reprint written by John M. Synge and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-26 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poems and Translations I have often thought that at the side of the poetic diction, which everyone condemns, modern verse contains a great deal of poetic material, using poetic in the same special sense. The poetry of exaltation Will be always the highest; but when men lose their poetic feeling for ordinary life, and cannot write poetry of ordinary things, their exalted poetry is likely to lose its strength of exaltation, in the way men cease to build beautiful, churches when they have iost happiness in building shops. Many of the Older poets, such as Villon and Herrick and Burns, used the whole of their personal life as their material, and the verse written in this way was read by strong men, and thieves, and deacons, not by little cliques only. Then, in the town writing of the eighteenth century, ordinary life was put into verse that was not poetry, and when poetry came back with Coleridge and Shelley, it went into verse that was not always human. In these days poetry is usually a flower of evil or good; but it is the timber of poetry that wears most surely, and there is no timber that has not strong roots among the clay and worms. Even if we grant that exalted poetry can be kept successful by itself, the strong things of life are needed in poetry also, to Show that what is exalted or tender is not made by feeble blood. It may almost be said that before verse can be human again it must learn to be brutal. The poems which follow were written at different times during the last sixteen or seventeen years, most of them before the Views just stated, with which they have little to do, had come into my head. The translations are sometimes free, and sometimes almost literal, according as seemed most fitting with the form of language I have used.

Rascals, vagabonds, beggars, away with you! Let us cast on our neighbors this tiresome burden! Money less tourists come, out of the way! Off with you! But neighbors, too, thank God, have police like us for such visitors. You have seen sometimes panting sheep, care lessly worried by butcher's dogs with hungry jaws, bleating in despair, hurrying, pushing, and soon finding no place to run to, to y to, to escape this horrible tor ture, since on every side the teeth are ready to bite them. And the butcher's boy joyfully chuckles, he hounds them on, and Bite him, there's a little one for you. It'sblood, it's esh that the dog tears. It's an eye torn out that hangs on his jowl. It's a life in tatters; but close to the shambles its quicker work; and one gets through one's duty. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Baudelaire His Prose and Poetry Classic Reprint written by Charles Baudelaire and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Baudelaire, His Prose and Poetry This collection of his verse and prose is gathered from those experiments in translation Which I think will most effectively convey to the English reader those qualities that made Baudelaire what he is. T here are numerous translations from Baudelaire in English but most of them may be dismissed as being seldom successful. Mr. Ar thur Symon's translation of some of the prose poems is a most beautiful adventure in psychological sensations, ci fective though not always accurate in interpretation. Mr. F. P. Sturm's effort with the Flowers of Evil and the Prose Poems is always accurate, sometimes inspired, and often a tour de force of translation. Mr. W. J. Robertson's translations from the Flowers of Evil is the most success ful of all. He maintains with amazing facility all the subtlety, beauty and one might also say the perfume of Baudelaire's verse. Mr. Shipley does a most meritorious work in his translations from the prose poems, and the reader will be everlastingly grateful to him for his hue painstaking translation of the Intimate Papers from Baudelaire's unpublished novels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spanish Prose and Poetry: Old and New, With Translated Specimens Indirectly again (for were they not the teachers of Dante and Petrarca P) came the influence of the troubadours through Italy. The commercial intercourse between Genoa and Cata lonia, and still more the conquest of Naples by Aragon, brought the two countries closely together. Italy became to Spain as Greece to Rome. In the fifteenth century the study of Dante was the chief inspiration from without, while yet more potently in the sixteenth century Italy brought a new impetus to Spain - Petrarca and others taught her poets how to sing of love, and gave a new delicacy and variety to their verse. Spain proved an apt pupil, and, in poetry as in art, where she borrows she shows a special gift for reflecting with originality the inspiration of Others.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short Day's Work: Original Verses, Translations, From Heine, and Prose Essays Brought up amidst the hills and valleys and grey mists of Derbyshire, her love of home and country was deep and constraining; and, at a time when a removal to the South of England was in contemplation, she wrote, while staying at the temporary Sussex home, many childish verses descriptive of the scenes amid which she had lived, summing up her love in the following lines: - "I doubt not this place be fair and bright, With its southern moor, and bright sun-light, But my heart still loveth best to roam Mong the smooth green hills of my Derbyshire home." Among those hills she lived, in good comradeship with young friends growing up around her, and in close and happy communion with her parents and only sister - the sister "lovely and beloved," with whom every pleasure and pain was shared. To many who knew them it will be impossible to think of the two sisters apart. Always together as children in the nursery and the schoolroom, they were a happy pair; and though when grown up their different tastes led to some divergence in pursuits, this diversity fostered rather than impaired that intimate companionship which in their lives suffered no break. And in their death, save for a few short weeks, they were not divided. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
