To the Editor N.Y.Times Book Review, 7 Jan. 2007 "Arms and the man I sing." Oops, or is it "Wars and a man I sing"? Darn, or is it something or other else? Why
should one read Robert Fagles, or any other middleman, instead of actually
reading Virgil? Why anything but "Arma virumque cano"? If one is too lazy to learn Latin, it is surely a waste of time to read Fagles under the illusion that one is reading Virgil. Try Shakespeare instead. John Winkler |
