To Put This Into Perspective... Anacreon Not Only Is Untranslated Even TODAY, Let Alone In The 70s-80s,

to put this into perspective... anacreon not only is untranslated even TODAY, let alone in the 70s-80s, but will probably never be translated. the poems anacreon wrote are not lacking in words to be translated into, the hardship in translating them lays with that they are conceived to be recited to music. they are also, exclusively, love poems.

I think we should talk more about the fact that Henry is basically the personification of the "beauty is terror" quote – hence, the concept of the Sublime. Richard found him to be the most beautiful out of the whole group – not in the in the literal sense, obviously, but in the sense that Henry was the one he looked up to, admired and eventually idolized the most out of them. Even after the murder and all that happened afterwards because of him, after finding out how terrifying he could actually be, Richard still couldn't let go of his initial impression of him, and kept on thinking fondly of him despite everything he'd done – and so did all the others. Henry kept them all together, then wronged them so many times, and in the end he still left them all with that lingering ghost of him they were never able to get rid of.
