Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from American Ecclesiastical Review, Vol. 22: A Monthly Publication Fro the Clergy It is perhaps impossible to render the melodic sweetness of St. Bernard´s hymn more sweetly in English metre and English idiom than Caswall has done it. The Doctor Mellifluus found in the liquid Latin at his command a verbal and phrasal honey which, like a veritable "apis argumentosa," he collected from many sources until the honeycomb fairly dripped with its weighted largess. And Caswall seems in his version to have done the same thing with almost equal success in the arid fields of English vocabulary. Doubtless he was justified by the example of St. Bernard himself, in seeking melody as the first of all desirable things in any hymn that should attempt to sing the ineffable sweetness of the name of Jesus. Having paid this tribute to the translator, we feel that we need hardly add the critical charge of unliteralness in the English rendering. Indeed, Caswall disregards - and justly enough - the metre and the rhymic scheme of the original Latin, and is not slow to depart from the thought as well, when a change can bring more music into the translation.
