In a matter of days I will not be reading translation theory on a regular basis and will be able to finish all my half-reads.
Also, I’m thumbing through Letter to Pammachius by Jerome, looking for good sense-for-sense translation support, and keep tripping into love:
“I wish to write trifles in my notebook as I please, to comment upon Scripture, to strike back at those who insult me, to settle my ire, to exercise my writing style in rhetorical commonplaces, and to store arrows as if polished for battle: as long as I do not publish my thoughts they are merely abusive, not criminal; indeed, something never aired in public cannot even be abusive.”
I can’t say I agree, but I love the thought– and so well put!
