Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Translations From Horace: With Notes The first edition of "Translations from Horace," 1885, contained only ten Odes. The second edition, quarto, 1886, comprised thirty. In the present edition eighty-seven translations will be found, the number of Odes in Horace´s four books (Epodes not included) being one hundred and four. It may be asked why all the Odes are not translated. To answer this question it may be well to state the principle upon which the selection was made. A translator of classical poetry ought to keep before him two main objects. He should endeavour to give pleasure to those for whom he writes, bearing, of course, in mind that the true office of poetry is to instruct as well as to please. He will therefore select for translation such as poems as tend to improve and purify the reader´s mind, enlarge his understanding, give a healthful expansion to his imagination, and create that sense and love of the beautiful which, as it becomes more refined, promotes the study not alone of our native poets, but of those belonging to other lands and ages.
