Arachnia: Occasional Verses

James Robertson

0/5 ( ratings)

Excerpt: The second part of the volume consists of translations, mostly from the French and German. Several have appeared in the Journal of Education; one in the Academy. The renderings of German Volkslieder were for the most part due to the exhortation of a lover of music, anxious to have versions that could be sung.
A translation in blank verse of the First Book of Lucan might yet be made public to scholars.
Two or three old friends have done much to help by advice. There has been some encouragement to hope, that the book will have interest for not a few readers, to whom the writer was personally unknown; but it must make its first appeal to those who knew something of the mind and character which found occasional expression in these poems. It is believed that such will accord a welcome to the best memorial that can now be raised.
