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. But he is well aware that his aim often exceeds his grasp. Translation may be a fascinating task, yet no discipline is more humbling. 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[Love is not getting, but giving, not a wild dream of pleasure, and madness of desire— ... it is goodness, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25638]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is not getting, but giving, not a wild dream of pleasure, and madness of desire— ... it is goodness, and honor, and peace and pure living.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25638</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is kind of a wake-up call to help people understand what's out there.
