“Nor let the critic, if he find the meaning of Camoens in some instances altered, imagine that he has found a blunder in the Translator. … It was not to gratify the dull few, whose greatest pleasure in reading a translation is to see what the author exactly says; it was to give a poem that might live in the English language which was the ambition of the Translator. … And the original is in the hands of the world.”

“I attacked the English of the Northern Shires like a lion.

It was there I took revenge on masses of people by subjecting them to a cruel famine; and by doing so — alas!”
