Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Agamemnon; La Saisiaz; Dramatic Idyls May I be permitted to chat a little, by way of recreation, at the end of a somewhat toilsome and perhaps fruitless adventure? If, because of the immense fame of the following Tragedy, I wished to acquaint myself with it, and could only do so by the help of a translator, I should require him to be literal at every cost save that of absolute violence to our language. The use of certain allowable constructions which, happening to be out of daily favor, are all the more appropriate to archaic workmanship, is no violence; but I would be tolerant for once, - in the case of so immensely famous an original, - of even a clumsy attempt to furnish me with the very turn of each phrase in as Greek a fashion as English will bear; while, with respect to amplifications and embellishments, anything rather than, with the good farmer, experience that most signal of mortifications, "to gape for Æschylus and get Theognis."
