Quotation
The translation I am going to use is that of the âEverymanâ series (2 vols) W.H. Kirby: who sometimes seems to plump unnecessarily for the prosy and verbally preposterous, though the great difficulty of course, of the original style is hard to exaggerate. As far as I can see he seems to have tried as nearly as possible the task of making each line correspond to each line of the original which hasnât improved things: but occasionally he is very good indeed.
If anyone does not know the story (and there is time) I can scarcely do better than read the bald summary in the preface to this edition.
