Excerpt from Some Remarks on Translation and Translators

Cicero taught Philosophy to speak Latin; and through Latin she learned to express herself in the modern languages. He was moved by no fanatical enthusiasm for a creed; nor even by the venturesome curiosity of a facile artist trying his hand in a new medium. His philosophical works were the pastimes and distractions of an enforced abstention from politics. His industry and energy must find em ployment he must speak or burst. And so he spoke, to no small purpose; for it is largely owing to him that our minds are articulate.
