nor peace teach the French to translate or even to spell English? Glancing
through a catalogue of pictures the other day which was thoughtfully provided
with translations into English and German, I came upon ‘Le Dessert’ translated
‘Leavings,’ ‘Le torso d’une jeune femme’ translated ‘Young woman’s trunk,’ and
so on and so on. No English proof-reader would dare pass such misquotations of
Racine as we put up with whenever Shakespeare is quoted in French. But there is
a charm in the arrogance of French illiteracy, which takes it for granted that
all languages save one are the base dialects of savages.”</FONT></SPAN></P>
