Excerpt from Propertius
It is vain then to seek for principles of craftsman ship in second-rate models: there is no authority to give an answer. Mr. A. Lang ingeniously observes that poetical words in English should be used to translate poetry. Yes: but tautology, charming form of argument as it is, should be complete. If he had said that poetry should be translated into poetry, his statement would have been impregnable. But the day is past when English could be approved for poetical merely in virtue of certain quaint archaic vocables spotted about in sentences of quite modern rhythm and construction. Samuel Butler's Odyrrey, horrifying as it was by the want of conventional quaintness and unreality, has done more to help us towards an eventual solution.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of the first book of poems and love elegies from the Roman poet Sextus Propertius, written in the first century BCE. The poems explore the turbulent relationship between the author and his mistress, Cynthia, and grapple with themes of love, loss, and the challenges of relationships. Propertius's innovative style, use of mythology, and frank exploration of personal experience and emotion set him apart from his contemporaries and made him a significant figure in the development of Latin literature. His work offers a unique glimpse into the complexities of Roman love and relationships and continues to be studied and appreciated for its lyrical beauty and psychological depth. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781331722878_0
