He desires his transcript to be faithful to the meaning of the original, so far as he can reach that meaning, and also to do some justice to its literary qualities.

You may be translating oracles, but soon you learn the risk and folly of posing as an oracle yourself. If your readers are dissatisfied at any point, they may be sure that the translator is still more dissatisfied, if not there, then elsewhere -- all the more so, because, in the nature of the case, he has always to appear dogmatic in print.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O, beware, my lord, of jealousy! It is the green-eyed monster, which doth mock  The meat it feeds on. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23168]]></link><description><![CDATA[O, beware, my lord, of jealousy! It is the green-eyed monster, which doth mock  The meat it feeds on.
