But it is time to speak of Dante in English.
"It were as wise to cast a violet into a crucible, that you mightdiscover the formal principle of its color and odor, as to seek totransfuse from one language into another the creations of a poet. "Thus writes a great poet, Shelley, in his beautiful "Defense ofPoetry. " But have we not in modern tongues the creations of Homer, andof Plato, who Shelley, on the same page, says is essentially a poet?And can we estimate the loss the modern mind would suf...fer bydeprivation of them in translated form? Pope's Homer--still Homerthough so Popish--has been a not insignificant chapter in the cultureof thousands, who without it would have known no more of Hector andAchilles and the golden glowing cloud of passion and action throughwhich they are seen superbly shining, than what a few of them wouldincidently have learnt from Lempriere. Lord Derby's Iliad has gonethrough many editions already. And Job and the Psalms: what should wehave done without them in English?
