On this last consideration I cannot\nbut attribute these also to the fruitfulness of his invention, since (as\nhe has managed them) they are a sort of supernumerary pictures of the\npersons or things to which they were joined. We see the motion of Hector's\nplumes in the epithet Korythaiolos, the landscape of Mount Neritus in that\nof Einosiphyllos, and so of others, which particular images could not have\nbeen insisted upon so long as to express them in a description (though but\nof a single line) without diverting the reader too much from the principal\naction or figure. As a metaphor is a short simile, one of these epithets\nis a short description.\n\nLastly, if we consider his versification, we shall be sensible what a\nshare of praise is due to his invention in that also. He was not satisfied\nwith his language as he found it settled in any one part of Greece, but\nsearched through its different dialects with this particular view, to\nbeautify and perfect his numbers he considered these as they had a greater\nmixture of vowels or consonants, and accordingly employed them as the\nverse required either a greater smoothness or strength. What he most\naffected was the Ionic, which has a peculiar sweetness, from its never\nusing contractions, and from its custom of resolving the diphthongs into\ntwo syllables, so as to make the words open themselves with a more\nspreading and sonorous fluency. With this he mingled the Attic\ncontractions, the broader Doric, and the feebler Ćolic, which often\nrejects its aspirate, or takes off its accent, and completed this variety\nby altering some letters with the licence of poetry. Thus his measures,\ninstead of being fetters to his sense, were always in readiness to run\nalong with the warmth of his rapture, and even to give a further\nre", "shortDescription": " and supporting the\npoetical style of the translation: and I will venture to say, there have\nnot been more men misled in former times by a servile, dull adherence to\nthe letter, than have been deluded in ours by a chimerical, insolent hope\nof raising and improving their author. It is not to be doubted, that the\nfire of the poem is what a translator should principally regard, as it is\nmost likely to expire in his managing: however, it is his safest way to be\ncontent with preserving this to his ut", "rating": 3.5, "promotions": null, "attributes": null, "availability": { "messages": [ "In Stock" ], "inStockDate": null }, "available": true, "options": [], "quantities": [ { "value": "1", "selected": true, "url": "/on/demandware.store/Sites-RefArch-Site/en_US/Product-Variation?pid=comdagen-6602032538171650264&quantity=1" }, { "value": "2", "selected": false, "url": "/on/demandware.store/Sites-RefArch-Site/en_US/Product-Variation?pid=comdagen-6602032538171650264&quantity=2" }, { "value": "3", "selected": false, "url": "/on/demandware.store/Sites-RefArch-Site/en_US/Product-Variation?pid=comdagen-6602032538171650264&quantity=3" }, { "value": "4", "selected": false, "url": "/on/demandware.store/Sites-RefArch-Site/en_US/Product-Variation?pid=comdagen-6602032538171650264&quantity=4" }, { "value": "5", "selected": false, "url": "/on/demandware.store/Sites-RefArch-Site/en_US/Product-Variation?pid=comdagen-6602032538171650264&quantity=5" }, { "value": "6", "selected": false, "url": "/on/demandware.store/Sites-RefArch-Site/en_US/Product-Variation?pid=comdagen-6602032538171650264&quantity=6" }, { "value": "7", "selected": false, "url": "/on/demandware.store/Sites-RefArch-Site/en_US/Product-Variation?pid=comdagen-6602032538171650264&quantity=7" }, { "value": "8", "selected": false, "url": "/on/demandware.store/Sites-RefArch-Site/en_US/Product-Variation?pid=comdagen-6602032538171650264&quantity=8" }, { "value": "9", "selected": false, "url": "/on/demandware.store/Sites-RefArch-Site/en_US/Product-Variation?pid=comdagen-6602032538171650264&quantity=9" }, { "value": "10", "selected": false, "url": "/on/demandware.store/Sites-RefArch-Site/en_US/Product-Variation?pid=comdagen-6602032538171650264&quantity=10" } ], "selectedProductUrl": "/comdagen-6602032538171650264.html?lang=en_US&quantity=undefined", "readyToOrder": true, "online": true, "pageTitle": "topmast", "pageDescription": "\nwants to keep 'way fum de water as much as you kin, en don't run no\nresk, 'kase it's down in de bills dat you's gwyne to git hung.”\n\nWhen I lit my candle and went up to my room that night there sat pap his\nown self!\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V.\n\nI had shut the door to.  Then I turned around and there he was.  I used\nto be scared of him all the time, he tanned me so much.  I reckoned I\nwas scared now, too; but in a minute I see I was mistaken--that is, after\nthe first jolt, as you may say, when my breath sort of hitched, he being\nso unexpected; but right away after I see I warn't scared of him worth\nbothring about.\n\nHe was most fifty, and he looked it.  His hair was long and tangled and\ngreasy, and hung down, and you could see his eyes shining through\nlike he was behind vines.  It was all black, no gray; so was his long,\nmixed-up whiskers.  There warn't no color in his face, where his face\nshowed; it was white; not like another man's white, but a white to make\na body sick, a white to make a body's flesh crawl--a tree-toad white, a\nfish-belly white.  As for his clothes--just rags, that was all.  He had\none ankle resting on t'other knee; the boot on that foot was busted, and\ntwo of his toes stuck through, and he worked them now and then.  His hat\nwas laying on the floor--an old black slouch with the top caved in, like\na lid.\n\nI stood a-looking at him; he set there a-looking at me, with his chair\ntilted back a little.  I set the candle down.  I noticed the window was\nup; so he had clumb in by the shed.  He kept a-looking me all over.  By\nand by he says:\n\n“Starchy clothes--very.  You think you're a good deal of a big-bug,\n_don't_ you?”\n\n“Maybe I am, maybe I ain't,” I says.\n\n“Don't you give me none o' your lip,” says he. “You've put on\nconsiderable many frills since I been away.  I'll take you down a peg\nbefore I get done with you.  You're educated, too, they say--can read and\nwrite.  You think you're better'n your father, now, don't you, because\nhe can't?  _I'll_ take it out of you.", "pageKeywords": null, "pageMetaTags": [], "template": null }, "addToCartUrl": {}, "resources": { "info_selectforstock": "Select Styles for Availability", "assistiveSelectedText": "selected" }, "quickViewFullDetailMsg": "View Full Details", "closeButtonText": "Close Quickview Dialog", "enterDialogMessage": "Start of Quickview dialog window.
