48). No one English word can be found whose circle of ideas can coincide with 46 THE ART OF TRANSLATING. the circle of the widely divergent ideas which are concentrated abont the primitive meaning of OaXepos. Now what shall the translator do ? He must not sin against his own language by crowding into an English word a lot of unnatural meanings. He has no right to say " blooming marriage " and " blooming tear, " lest the epithet become but a meaningless sound. He must select an English word whic...h will cut the circle of 6a\ep6s sufficiently to allow a common idea to lie within both circumferences. In whatever application the Greek epithet contains this idea, the English word will adequately reproduce it. In the same way, the circle of another English word must intersect the circle of 6a\ep6s at other points, in order that a common idea may be found for a different application. In the translation of the same foreign word by the same English word in the same application, and in the translation by a consistently different word in dif- ferent applications, the translator is faithful to his real task, that is, the reproduction of the feelings kindled by the use of the words in the original.
