Bereik en inhoud
WW sends the first part of JCH's translation of Goethe's epistles. He has made one or two slight alterations and 'marked one or two other lines, always on account of the rhythm. I am desirous that in our book the verse should run smoothly to a common ear, so that the hexameter may get hold of people [Dialogues on English Hexameters, 1847]. Afterwards, when it is become familiar, we may take greater liberties, or rather may aspire to a more comprehensive melody'.
