1 | The Massorah? | OT general | kalos | 30823 | ||
Hank: Thank you. Yours is the voice of reason and sanity. By the way, I don't know one word of Russian. But in my spare time, I think I'll purchase a Russian-English dictionary. Then I will be fully qualified to check our English translations of Tolstoy to make sure they are accurate. If there is any discrepancy between the original and the translations, I need only consult somone who has read a chapter or two of WAR AND PEACE. Between the two of us we will surely have more knowledge and authority than the original transators. If anyone believes that, I have a bridge I'd like to sell them. kalos |

2 | The Massorah? | OT general | Hank | 30854 | ||
Kalos, I like your idea. If any English translation of WAR AND PEACE is found to contain just one word that is not true to Tolstoy's Russian, I think the whole batch of them should be banned in Boston and burned in Billings. I checked on this with one of my hillbilly friends who lives in the Ozarks about two miles on the other side of "Resume Speed" and he said we should ban War but keep the Peace. Those hills ring out with rare wisdom. --Hank | ||||||
