I liked a Portrait of the Artist, personally, though the (lack of real) punctuation grated *NM* IndigoAjah Send a noteboard - 07/09/2009 12:18:50 AM
Does the Devil ever struggle to be good again, or if so is he not a devil?

What difference does it make after all? Anonymity in the world of men is better than fame in heaven, for what's heaven? What's Earth? All in the mind.

Political polemics, for one. Utopian novels, for another. Haggard - 06/09/2009 05:29:54 AM 1275 Views

Canterbury Tales by Chaucer. In Ye Olde English, it's harder to translate than ancient Greek. *NM* IndigoAjah - 06/09/2009 05:07:49 PM 767 Views
Oh man, the prologue to the Wife of Bath was horrible. Brian - 06/09/2009 05:11:39 PM 1270 Views
The Canterbury Tales are not Old English. They are Middle English. Сталин - 06/09/2009 05:59:59 PM 1440 Views
Indeed, translating old english, and reading middle english are very very different Brian - 06/09/2009 07:11:13 PM 1343 Views
Edit: ignore this, what I had before was blatantly untrue *NM* IndigoAjah - 07/09/2009 12:11:37 AM 779 Views
As I'm translating some ancient Greek right now, I call bullshit on that. *NM* Ghavrel - 06/09/2009 08:45:46 PM 717 Views
EDIT: Last post was basically equally bullsh*t IndigoAjah - 07/09/2009 12:17:01 AM 1323 Views
