Middleton is a district especially suited for small farms, so much so that it has been determined to divide one or two of the larger ones. Altogether it is a very primitive curious place, with several originals among the tenantry, and some beautiful natural scenery, among whom a morning may be spent with profit and pleasure.
In Burmese the love-songs are in a short, sweet rhythm, full of quaint conceits and word-music. I cannot put them into English verse, or give the flow of the originals in a translation. It always seems to me that Don Quixote was right when he said that a translation was like the wrong side of an embroidered cloth, giving the design without the beauty.
The space left between the doors is thereby conserved, and is broken into a large central panel flanked by two narrow panels. The space above the doors is also paneled. This wall is broken by a console placed under the central panel. Above it one of the Mennoyer originals, which you may remember in the Washington Irving dining-room, is set in the wall, framed with a narrow molding of gray.
Himself at the confluence of the two streams, the national and the local, he pays his tribute to two sets of originals, talks with equal reverence of names known to us like Pope and Gray and Shenstone and names unknown which belonged to local "bards," as he would have called them, who wrote their poems for an Ayrshire public.
If any one of the men who combined to work his ruin is mentioned in history, it is only to say, "He lived in the age of Rembrandt." I was admitted to the Duke of Lerma's presence, and took part in the embassy. They are held and accepted by the King and Queen as originals, without there being any doubt on their side, or assertion on ours, to make them believe them to be such.
This rigid adhesion to truth, an indispensable requisite in history and travels, destroys the charm of fiction; for all that is necessary to be conveyed to the mind by the latter had better be done by delineations of principles, and of characters in their classes, than by a too fastidious attention to originals.
He cuts down the preliminaries mercilessly: but they can be perfectly well spared. He misses almost all the wars with the Saxons, which are the most tedious parts of the originals. He adopts, most happily, the early, not the late, placing of those with the Romans.
It's our last evening together until we all gather home again to see Grace and Tom take the highway of matrimony. Let's make the most of it." Those who have faithfully followed Grace Harlowe through the eventful phases of her high school and college life are equally well acquainted with the other seven members of the Eight Originals.
"And you did n't even find the little daisy what-you-may-call-'ems the originals, I mean?" She meant the crazy designs on the cipher. "I did not." Genevieve laughed. "Wait till I get back. I mean to have a try at our cryptograph. "They 're there, all right. I 'm sure you 're welcome to try if you 'll let me assist in the search." She wrinkled her nose and sniffed. "Hmf!
Their volumes add nothing to the controversy to those who know the German originals. Not a few Americans have obtained reputation by the expansion of the note books they made at the feet of German professors. This also is largely true of the English critics. Many of them are well furnished for Greek criticism. The number of Greek Englishmen is still very large.
