Goodman Brown

Famous quotes containing the words goodman and/or brown:

    To translate, one must have a style of his own, for otherwise the translation will have no rhythm or nuance, which come from the process of artistically thinking through and molding the sentences; they cannot be reconstituted by piecemeal imitation. The problem of translation is to retreat to a simpler tenor of one’s own style and creatively adjust this to one’s author.
    —Paul Goodman (1911–1972)

    You sang:
    Me an’ muh baby gonna shine, shine
    Me an’ muh baby gonna shine.
    The strong men keep a-comin’ on
    The strong men git stronger . . .
    —Sterling Allen Brown (b. 1901)
