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. 15721631)
“That mans best works should be such bungling imitations of Natures infinite perfection, matters not much; but that he should make himself an imitation, this is the fact which Nature moans over, and deprecates beseechingly. Be spontaneous, be truthful, be free, and thus be individuals! is the song she sings through warbling birds, and whispering pines, and roaring waves, and screeching winds.”
—Lydia M. Child (18021880)
