King Arthur: Prince On White Horse - Translation

Famous quotes containing the word translation:

“To translate, one must have a style of his own, for otherwise the translation will have no rhythm or nuance, which come from the process of artistically thinking through and molding the sentences; they cannot be reconstituted by piecemeal imitation. The problem of translation is to retreat to a simpler tenor of one’s own style and creatively adjust this to one’s author.”
—Paul Goodman (1911–1972)

“Well meant are the wounds a friend inflicts, but profuse are the kisses of an enemy.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 27:6.

KJ translation reads: Faithful are the wounds of a friend.

“...it is better to marry than to be aflame with passion.”
—Bible: New Testament, 1 Corinthians 7:9.

King James translation reads, “It is better to marry than to burn.”
