His last letter to her is dated July 6, 1886, the year and month of his death, so that for a period of nearly forty years he enjoyed the personal and intellectual companionship of this remarkable woman. Their relations form one of the great love romances of the last century. Liszt's letters to the Princess, written in French and still untranslated, are in four volumes.
The German word Gemüthlichkeit, the English phrase 'a home of ancient peace, are here alike by art and nature untranslated into visibilities. Even a passing stranger may feel the mingled fascination and oppression of this prospect the monotony which maddens, the charm which at a distance grows upon the mind, environing it with memories.
There were all the same accounts of the minute creatures that are incipient chalk, and their exquisite cells, made, some of coral, some of silex spicule from sponges; the some descriptions of phosphorescent animals, meduse, and the like, that Dolores had thought her own special treasure and privilege, only a great deal fuller, and with the scientific terms untranslated indeed, Aunt Jane had now and then to stop and explain, since she had always kept up with the course of modern discovery.
Manet's revolt against tradition began before he became an artist, as was in fact necessary, or he would never have been allowed to become one. The traditions of the Bourgoisie were sacred, and their power and importance since the revolution of 1848 not to be lightly set aside. But young Manet was so determined that he was at last allowed by his bourgeois parents to have his way, and was sent to study under that very rough diamond Couture. Now again his "revolting" qualities showed themselves, this time in the life class.

"Well?" he queried absently, looking up from a book, one of the latest untranslated treatises on the new psychology from the pen of the eminent scientist, Dr. Freud of Vienna, "what brings you uptown so early?" Briefly as I could, I explained to him what it was that I proposed to do.
"I merely suggested it," I was putting in, when he cut me short. "Aren't you the son of Matthew Paret?" "Yes," I said. He gave me a queer glance, the significance of which I left untranslated. My excitement was too great to analyze what he meant by this mention of my father.... When we reached the sidewalk my chief gave me a few parting instructions.
And he is compelled to leave untranslated, while he apologises for them, the frequent allusions to the sexual aspects of nature, "particularly in religious books." The revelations of the Maharaj trial in Bombay are the practical fruit of all this. "CALCUTTA, 17th March 1802.
The translator of this history, when he comes to write this fifth chapter, says that he considers it apocryphal, because in it Sancho Panza speaks in a style unlike that which might have been expected from his limited intelligence, and says things so subtle that he does not think it possible he could have conceived them; however, desirous of doing what his task imposed upon him, he was unwilling to leave it untranslated, and therefore he went on to say: Sancho came home in such glee and spirits that his wife noticed his happiness a bowshot off, so much so that it made her ask him, "What have you got, Sancho friend, that you are so glad?"
She taxed him instantly with dishonorably abusing her confidence. The cornet made but a bad defence. He muttered something about 'fraternal affection, about 'esteem, and a great deal of metaphysical words that are destined to remain untranslated in their original Spanish.
