Excerpt from The Poetry of Other Lands: A Collection of Translations Into English Verse of the Poetry of Other Languages, Ancient and Modern
Some of the poems, perhaps, should be classed as para phrases rather than as translations, but as an equivalent expression, taking into account the difference of idiom, will frequently convey the author's meaning and the beauty of the passage much more truthfully than a mere literal translation could possibly do, the compiler has not hesitated to include such in the collection.
