The prose version of Hayward seemed to have been accepted as the standard, in default of anything more satisfactory: the English critics, generally sustaining the translator in his views concerning the secondary importance of form in Poetry, practically discouraged any further attempt; and no one, familiar with rhythmical expression through the needs of his own nature, had devoted the necessary love and patience to an adequate reproduction of the great work of Goethe's life. The care and conscience with which the work had been performed were so apparent, that I now state with reluctance what then seemed to me to be its only deficiencies,--a lack of the lyrical fire and fluency of the original in some passages, and an occasional lowering of the tone through the use of words which are literal, but not equivalent. The present participle can only be used to a limited extent, on account of its weak termination, and the want of an accusative form to the noun also restricts the arrangement of words in English verse.

The prose translator should certainly be able to feel the manifestation of this law in both languages, and should so choose his words as to meet their reciprocal requirements. Hayward's prose translation. Where all the restraints of verse are flung aside, we should expect, at least, as accurate a reproduction of the sense, spirit, and tone of the original, as the genius of our language will permit. Poetry, indeed, may be distinguished from Prose by the single circumstance, that it is the utterance of whatever in man cannot be perfectly uttered in any other than a rhythmical form: it is useless to say that the naked meaning is independent of the form: on the contrary, the form contributes essentially to the fullness of the meaning. The English language, though not so rich as the German in such rhymes, is less deficient than is generally supposed. The difficulty to be overcome is one of construction rather than of the vocabulary. He shall not leave the spot alive.

Considering the fact that many people do not have adequate blood to engage in strenuous exercise having a entire tummy, the body will rebel at first by producing you're feeling awful, but This is often an predicted response. I would like the crowd to come to feel by itself perfectly handled, Primarily as it life and allows me live; The posts are set, the booth of boards finished. Ye crowd far more in the vicinity of! My very own job has long been cheered by the invention, the far more closely I reproduced the language of the original, the greater of its rhythmical character was transferred concurrently. I sense impelled, its indicating to determine,-- With sincere objective, once for all, The hallowed Original To alter to my beloved German. Effectively-produced you might be, 'tis never to be denied, The remainder a Daring handle will earn you; When you but in by yourself confide, Simultaneously confide all Other individuals in you. Therefore, all which you as Sin have rated,-- Destruction,--aught with Evil blent,-- That is my appropriate ingredient. Hayward's completely omits the aspect of poetry.

Hayward's ear did not dictate to him the necessity of preserving the original rhythm. I honor him to the affected individual and conscientious labor he has bestowed upon his translation,--I are not able to but think that he has himself illustrated the unsoundness of his argument. Poetry isn't just a vogue of expression: it's the method of expression absolutely needed by a certain course of ideas. The English ear is suspicious of new metres and unaccustomed types of expression: there are essential detectives on the track of each creator, along with a violation on the approved canons is followed by a summons to judgment. In Poetry which endures by way of its individual inherent vitality, there is no compelled union of both of these aspects. The writer's imagined is stripped of a last grace in passing through his intellect, and frequently offers greatly precisely the same resemblance to the original being an unhewn shaft on the fluted column.
