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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Greek Prose Composition Part I contains, in graded lessons, the principal points of Greek syntax, the unusual and non-essential being purposely omitted. These lessons are designed for use at the beginning of the second year's study of Greek, thereby serving as a partial review of the first year's work and as an introduction to the composition work in connection with the reading of Xenophon's Anabasis. Part II contains short, simple English sentences, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. These should be used daily in connection with the reading of the text. Part III contains connected English prose, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. This is carefully graded, so that the stu dent who performs faithfully the work outlined here will be able to pass the entrance examination of any of the American colleges. The method of writing Greek at sight used in this book needs a word of explanation.

Download or read book The Oxford Book of Classical Verse written by Adrian Poole and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 660 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Great Britain has a long and grand tradition of poets translating classical authors. Virtually every great poet from Chaucer on has tried his or her hand at translation, with the results often rivalling or even excelling the ancient original. This unique anthology presents the best of these translations, ranging from King Alfred, Alexander Pope, and Ben Jonson, to Alfred Lord Tennyson, Ezra Pound, and Ted Hughes. The book offers a vast array of responses to the song, verse, and drama of ancient Greece and Rome, and to poets themselves as varied as Homer, Sappho, Euripides, Virgil, Ovid, and Juvenal. Organized by classical author and text, the book gathers and juxtaposes English versions, sometimes of the same passage or poem, to dramatize the endless renewal of one great poetic tradition in and through another.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Iliad of Homer: Translated Into English Blank Verse Of the noble version of Mr. Bryant, the present translator has made free use as a guide and standard of comparison: and he has nothing to add to the admirable preface of that great writer, saving that his use of the Romanized names of the gods appears to lend a false air of Latinity to the Greek concep (ions. Employment has also been made of the prose version of Theodore Alois Buckley, which has the merit of profound sdtolarship and critical analysis of disputed passages; also, to some extent, of Keep's Iliad.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Varieties in Verse: Consisting of New Metrical Translations From Greek, Latin, Italian, and German Authors; With Copious Notes, and Some Original Pieces In presenting this Volume to my Readers, I am desirous of stating the circumstances which led to the production of the little work which forms the principal part of the miscellany; and, moreover, of adding a few words in vindication of my choice of rhymic metre, in preference to blank verse. In consequence of my retirement from the daily duties of a public function which had for many years occupied a considerable portion of my time, I found myself in possession of more leisure than was desirable for the promiscuous reading and other recreations which had previously filled up my vacant intervals; and therefore I thought it expedient to impose upon myself some unoppressive intellectual task, in order to ward off any ennui which, otherwise, I might sometimes feel.

Download or read book The Iliad of Homer Vol 1 written by W. C. Green and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Iliad of Homer, Vol. 1: With a Verse Translation, Books I-XII A Translation needs little or no preface: it is itself, well or ill done, its own apology or condemnation. I would therefore have met my reader unprefaced, had I not wished to profess and briefly defend my old-fashioned faith in verse as better than prose for translation of poetry. Prose or non-metrical translations of classical poets have of late found much favour. Carlyle has somewhere expressed his preference for them, saying 'we want what the ancients thought and said, and none of your silly poetry.' In spite of this, without wishing to disparage good prose translations, I still hold to metre. Granting that we do want to know - and to know accurately - what the ancient poet thought and said, I yet contend we can know this better with metre than without. For we best know what an author thought and said, if we receive from the translation the same impression that an intelligent scholar receives from the original. Now two things make up this impression: first, the matter, or meaning of the words; second, the form or metre. Give up the latter entirely, and you give up much: how much, the advocates of prose do not sufficiently realize.

Download or read book Variorum written by J.J. Evans and published by Bristol Classical Press. This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While there is a reasonable selection of readers for use with classes studying Greek, there is a shortage of book containing suitable selections for teaching the techniques of translation; this book is designed to fill this gap. It consists of three sections. The first contains a series of sequences which tell a particular story, each sequence being introduced by a brief account of the context; the majority of the sequences are from prose authors. There are also a few individual passages. The second section consists of harder pieces, both prose and verse, some of which are arranged in sequenses, but a greater proportion of which are isolated pieces intended for use as unseens. The final section is an Appendix, which is intended as a convenient source of Greek practice passages.

Download or read book Horace for English Readers written by E. C. Wickham and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-22 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Horace for English Readers: Being a Translation of the Poems of Quintus Horatius Flaccus Into English Prose Greek classic at the beginning of the last century. Thatis the true parallel. English translations have come with full English commentaries. They are their natural complement; and any mischief which they may be supposed to cause to classical study - I should prefer to say, any change that they indicate in its methods has come already with the commentaries. Perhaps in saying so much an old schoolmaster is betraying a twinge of conscience at seeming to publish a 'crib.' But in truth if the present translation owed its origin to an Oxford lecture-room some thirty years ago, it has been given to the printer now not so much with any view to schoolboys or Academic students as to two other classes of readers. Horace was more read in the generation which is passing away than he is now; and it has been thought that some who, though their classical books are not often disturbed, have not altogether lost the memory of his genial wisdom may turn over these pages with interest and find in them some echoes of the past. And there is an increasing class of persons who, without first-hand knowledge of the classical languages, are interested to make the great writers of Greece and Rome something more than mere names to themselves. Perhaps these will care more to feel that they have the exact things which Horace said than to have a distant and Questionable imitation of the poetical form in which he said it. Even in plain prose, it may be, they will find some charm in his company, and feel across the centuries the 'touch of nature.'
