Preview nothing - the fellow was blind as a bad.

(but what a talent, eh? I mean, the Iliad and the Odyssey - they almost read like they were put together by two different groups of poets several decades apart; that’s a genius right there.)

Well, I’ve only read them in translation, and anyone who has read them in any language is at the mercy of the transcribers, who may or may not have been poets…and yet, the genius comes through, “wine-dark sea” and all.

In my next life, I will know someone who wants to read the Alexander Pope translations aloud with me.
