Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Amaranth and Asphodel Poems From the Greek Anthology
I have been reading your translations with extreme pleasure at so much skill in both Greek and English. Your versions, while they seem very close to the original, make in them selves a delightful book of verse.
I am sending a copy to E. W. Gosse, who is I think a master in all metrical secrets, and delighting also in all Greek things, will I feel sure be pleased with your work; also to one or two others to whom I am glad to have the Opportunity of making a little present.
I was very pleased to hear that you had decided to return to Oxford, and h0pe you will be always very far from regretting your sever ance from the lotuses and the gold of Egypt, for the share of which, however, in the genesis of your charming little book I, for one, am grateful.
