Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Modern Book of French Verse This anthology is more correctly a compilation of translations selected primarily for those who have no means of enjoying French poetry in the original. Expanded from a collection gathered originally for personal pleasure, it is my belief that most of the selections here included are of high poetical merit, fully capable of standing squarely on their own feet as adequate renderings of the original. Where this claim seems extravagant, the reader is asked to accept the selection as one of several that were included to give the volume the proper proportions that an anthology such as this must possess. In such cases, it was deemed better that our poet be inadequately represented than not at all. A translation fairly literal, though lacking in the lyrical quality we should desire, is, at any rate, an aid to the appreciation of the original, and we hope that these versions will lead some readers back to their source. Acknowledgments are due to many publishers for their generous authorizations in the use of copyrighted material.
