Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Unpartizan Review, Vol. 12: July December 1919 We confess that we are so far behind the age as to enjoy the flavor of a classical quotation, just as, we are shameless enough to admit, we are far enough behind to enjoy the bouquet of a glass of wine or the atmosphere of a feminine woman - all three of which rare refinements are becoming rarer still in this progressive age. But while we have been making these shameless confessions, we have kept those of you whose education is abreast of the age, waiting to know the meaning of the three strange words at the head of this paper. Pray accept our apologies. The words are Latin, though not exactly a quotation, but a suggestion, from one Publius Vergilius Maro, familiarly known to some unprogressive people as Vergil, who flourished in Rome in an age equally known to the unprogressive as the Augustan, around which term there floats, for said unprogressives, much flavor. Vergil´s words, also Latin, were: (We beg the unprogressive´s pardon for quoting them for the progressives) "Coelum non animam mutant qui trans mare currunt," and they mean, in their order: Sky, not soul, [they] change who across [the] sea rush, or more fully and a bit metrically, The sky but not the soul, change they Who rush across the sea. To the progressive, who, if even at the loss of certain flavors, is specially trained to put this and that together, it would probably be superfluous farther to explain why the strange words stand at the head of this article.
