Joseph Smith Translation

Famous quotes containing the words smith and/or translation:

“I can’t forgive my friends for dying; I don’t find these vanishing acts of theirs at all amusing.”
—Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)

“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)
