ON TRANSLATING HOMER
"Tis no comfortable prospect to be reflecting, that so long a siege as that of Troy lies upon my hands, and the campagne above half over before I have made any progress."
From Letter LX, to Mr. Addison, and dated Jan. 30, 1713-4
"I hold any writer sufficiently justified who is himself in love with his theme." -- Henry James
