    An illustration for: Nine Maxims On Translation
    E Bruce Brooks / University of Massachusetts / 5 Dec 2002
    Background [The elements of these translations corresponding to the Latin oppositis and pumicibus , which in the original are separated by the verb debilitat, are shown in red for easier technical comparison].
    Carmina 1/11
    What end the gods may have ordained for me,
    And what for thee,
    Chaldean tables cannot bring us rest.
    'T is for the best
    To bear in patience what may come, or weal or woe. If for more winters our poor lot is cast,
    Or this the last,
    Which on the crumbling rocks has dashed Etruscan seas,
    Strain clear the wine; this life is short, at best. Take hope with zest, And, trusting not To-morrow, snatch To-day for ease! Both "rest" (first stanza) and "ease" (second stanza) are artifacts of Field's chosen rhyme; together, they suggest an amplitude which is not that of Horace's poem. The poem projects instead a sense of confinement and acceptance, rather than freedom and leisure. It is such violations of sense, induced by an imposed rhyme, facile rather than faithful, that have doomed the rhyming translation in the ears of the poetry public.

    Wynken, Blynken and Nod O ver 100 years ago, Wynken, Blynken and Nod came alive in the mind, heart and imagination of Eugene Field and on March 9, 1889, he penned the immortal words of what is also known as "The Dutch Lullaby." Today, it is still regarded as the most perfect childhood poem. Field - considered by historians to be the first newspaper columnist in the United States - was born in 1850. He was on the staff of newspapers in both Denver and Chicago. In addition to his work as a journalist, he also wrote over 500 poems and short stories, many about children. It was his belief that childhood was the most precious time of life and therefore, should be spent day dreaming, pretending, and using one's imagination before the realities and responsibilities of adult life were attained. He had lived only 45 years when he died in 1895, but his poetic writing achieved immortality through the haunting and unforgettable imagery of Wynken, Blynken and Nod

    by Eugene Field (1850-1895) Father calls me William, sister calls me Will,
    Mother calls me Willie, but the fellers call me Bill!
    Mighty glad I ain't a girl—ruther be a boy,
    Without them sashes, curls, an' things that's worn by Fauntleroy!
    Hate to take the castor-ile they give for bellyache!
    'Most all the time, the whole year round, there ain't no flies on me,
    But jest 'fore Christmas I'm as good as I kin be! Got a yeller dog named Sport, sick him on the cat;
    First thing she knows she doesn't know where she is at!
    Got a clipper sled, an' when us kids goes out to slide,
    'Long comes the grocery cart, an' we all hook a ride! But sometimes when the grocery man is worrited an' cross, He reaches at us with his whip, an' larrups up his hoss, An' then I laff an' holler, "Oh, ye never teched me!

    The Werewolf
    by Eugene Field
    Originally from Second Book of Tales (1911), pp. 243-56. I N the reign of Egbert the Saxon there dwelt in Britain a maiden named Yseult, who was beloved of all, both for her goodness and for her beauty. But, though many a youth came wooing her, she loved Harold only, and to him she plighted her troth. Among the other youth of whom Yseult was beloved was Alfred, and he was sore angered that Yseult showed favor to Harold, so that one day Alfred said to Harold: "Is it right that old Siegfried should come from his grave and have Yseult to wife?" Then added he, "Prithee, good sir, why do you turn so white when I speak your grandsire's name?" Then Harold asked, "What know you of Siegfried that you taunt me? What memory of him should vex me now?" "We know and we know," retorted Alfred. "There are some tales told us by our grandmas we have not forgot." So ever after that Alfred's words and Alfred's bitter smile haunted Harold by day and night. Harold's grandsire, Siegfried the Teuton, had been a man of cruel violence. The legend said that a curse rested upon him, and that at certain times he was possessed of an evil spirit that wreaked its fury on mankind. But Siegfried had been dead full many years, and there was naught to mind the world of him save the legend and a cunning-wrought spear which he had from Brunehilde, the witch. This spear was such a weapon that it never lost its brightness, nor had its point been blunted. It hung in Harold's chamber, and it was the marvel among weapons of that time.

    DENVER'S LITERARY LANDMARKS DRIVING TOUR
    STOP 1: WASHINGTON PARK
    (Franklin and Exposition Streets, East Side of Park)
    Eugene Field: The Unforgettable Trickster
    For generations now, tiny Coloradans have been prodded, poked and made to stand still while having their photograph taken with obscure, out-of-state relatives next to the statue of Wynken, Blynken and Nod in a picturesque spot next to the Eugene Field House on the east side of Washington Park. There are worse things to happen in childhood, so if you're kind enough to begin this Denver Lit Tour with us at this recommended first stop, then by all means force your children to lean into your viewfinder for a lovely shot of the statue (sculpted by Mabel Landrum Torrey in 1919) with Washington Park lake - and the Rocky Mountains - in the background. It doesn't matter that the only connection between Eugene Field (1850-1895) and Washington Park is that he once nearly drowned in it while goofing around with friends. What does matter is that this city - and an entire generation of American parents and children - adored this man and his writings. Just as nearly every American child today has a Dr. Seuss book read to him or her, Eugene Field's poems for children were equally beloved and best-selling in the first decades of the last century. Beside "Dutch Lullaby," the poem honored by the sculpture, children everywhere once knew "The Sugar Plum Tree," "The Duel" (between the Gingham Dog and the Calico Cat), and "Little Boy Blue."

Nita Kucer's story is, in a large sense, representative of thousands of Czech immigrants who came to America following the Civil War. Arriving in Chicago with her parents in 1865, three-year-old Nita quickly adapts to the language and culture of the new country, while her parents struggle to reconcile present with past. Covering the years 1865 to the Spanish American War, The Land of Plenty is a panoramic history of the city including such events as the Chicago fire and the World's Columbian Exposition, as well as the day-to-day activities of the heroine, her family, and friends. The characters are generally one-dimensional, and historic events often receive only token treatment, but a basic view of Czech mores and folkways and the Czechs' problems of assimilation demonstrate somewhat the Czech contribution to the conglomerate of manners and modes which make up American culture. 433. EDDY,ARTHUR JEROME, 1859-1920.
