Translation is like a mistress. If she is beautiful, she is not faithful. If she is faithful, she is not beautiful. –old French saying
An idea does not pass from one language to another without change. –Miguel de Unamuno
Translation it is that openeth the window, to let in the light, that breaketh the shell, that we may eat the kernel; that putteth aside the curtain, that we ma ylook into the most Holy place; that removeth the cover of the well, that we may come by the water. –Miles Smith, Preface to the King James Version, 1611
