But it is not, there- J. L. Halt's TranslaHon 99 fore, dignified or clean How much dignity and clarity a translator has a right to introduce into his rendering is a matter of opinion. Mn Hall was quite conscious of what he was doing, and doubtless regarded his diction as well suited to convey the original Beowulf spirit.
