Baku Yumemakura - Translated Works

Famous quotes containing the words translated and/or works:

“God employs several translators; some pieces are translated by age, some by sickness, some by war, some by justice.”
—John Donne (c. 1572–1631)

“The works of women are symbolical.
We sew, sew, prick our fingers, dull our sight,
Producing what? A pair of slippers, sir,
To put on when you’re weary or a stool
To stumble over and vex you ... “curse that stool!”
Or else at best, a cushion, where you lean
And sleep, and dream of something we are not,
But would be for your sake. Alas, alas!
This hurts most, this ... that, after all, we are paid
The worth of our work, perhaps.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
