Excerpt from Lyrical Songs, Idylls and Epigrams We believe, that the fidelity of the translation will be found to be almost as close as that of a careful prose version. But while keeping to this strict rule of literal accuracy, we have tried not to sacrifice anything of the beauty of the original. How far we have been successful in this, we must leave it to the reader to judge. It is no easy task to combine in any translation close fidelity to form and substance with elegance of language; and the difficulties are much increased, in the present instance, by the great abundance of feminine, or double, rhymes, which these poems contain, and with which we have not tampered in one single instance.

Excerpt from Lyrics and Idylls: With Other Poems Long are years of waiting, when lovers' hearts are bound By words that hold in life and death, and last the half-world round Long, long for him who wanders far and strives with all his main, But crueller yet for her who bides at home and hides her pain And lone are the homes of New England.

Excerpt from Romance in Song: Heine's Lyrical Interlude IN 1823 Heine published a volume containing two trage dies, Almansor and Ratcliff, and, between them, the present collection of poems. He called these songs a Lyrical Inter lude, a name perhaps designed to suggest not merely their position in the book, but also the inferior esteem in which, at the time, he held them, as the slighter products of his genius. Nevertheless, they have given him a fame which must last as long as youth and love and disappointment ex ist in the World; while the plays, which he regarded as worthy of more serious appreciation, have passed into oblivion.

Excerpt from King Fialar: A Poem in Five Songs The name of the great Finnish poet, Johan Ludvig Runeberg (1804 though less known in this country than on the continent of Europe, is not so unfamiliar to English readers as the poet's own countrymen complain of. In company with the late Prof. E. W. Palmer, I brought out in 1878 a trans lation of his collected lyrical poems, idylls and epigrams, prefaced by a short sketch of his life 1 and a brief review of his principal works. This was supplemented by a highly appreciative account of Runeberg's poetical merits from the pen of Mr. (now Sir) Edmund Gosse, in his Studies in the Literatures of Northern Europe where he goes so far as to assert that Runeberg is the greatest poet that ever used the Swedish language; an assertion that correctly expresses the Views even of most Swedes on the subject.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Annie Proulx’s The Shipping News is a vigorous, darkly comic, and at times magical portrait of the contemporary North American family. Quoyle, a third-rate newspaper hack, with a “head shaped like a crenshaw, no neck, reddish hair...features as bunched as kissed fingertips,” is wrenched violently out of his workaday life when his two-timing wife meets her just desserts. An aunt convinces Quoyle and his two emotionally disturbed daughters to return with her to the starkly beautiful coastal landscape of their ancestral home in Newfoundland. Here, on desolate Quoyle’s Point, in a house empty except for a few mementos of the family’s unsavory past, the battered members of three generations try to cobble up new lives. Newfoundland is a country of coast and cove where the mercury rarely rises above seventy degrees, the local culinary delicacy is cod cheeks, and it’s easier to travel by boat and snowmobile than on anything with wheels. In this harsh place of cruel storms, a collapsing fishery, and chronic unemployment, the aunt sets up as a yacht upholsterer in nearby Killick-Claw, and Quoyle finds a job reporting the shipping news for the local weekly, the Gammy Bird (a paper that specializes in sexual-abuse stories and grisly photos of car accidents). As the long winter closes its jaws of ice, each of the Quoyles confronts private demons, reels from catastrophe to minor triumph—in the company of the obsequious Mavis Bangs; Diddy Shovel the strongman; drowned Herald Prowse; cane-twirling Beety; Nutbeem, who steals foreign news from the radio; a demented cousin the aunt refuses to recognize; the much-zippered Alvin Yark; silent Wavey; and old Billy Pretty, with his bag of secrets. By the time of the spring storms Quoyle has learned how to gut cod, to escape from a pickle jar, and to tie a true lover’s knot.
