It is a patent fact, that if you make your translation literal however much it very may prove your knowledge of the text, it conveys practically no idea of the subject-matter to one who does not know the original. The real purpose of the translation lies in making the subject matter comprehended by one who is unable to read the original." Then he quoted with approval what Mr. R. Y. Tyrell wrote in the Academy of March 3, 1906. original......hence paraphrase, expansion, compren even to some slight extent, omission and interpolation are sometimes requisite to give a more real and faith impression of a great original than could be obta from literal reproduction of the very words, clause b clause and line by line."
