Dear All,

 

I’d like to reopen this thread of a while back, where Harry Hayfield claimed below to be quoting my translation of AWED, as follows:

 

“People said that he resembled Byron,—at least that his head was Byronic; but he was a bearded, tranquil Byron, who might live on a thousand years without growing old.”

 

However, what I actually wrote was very different:

 

“He was said to look like Byron : his head at least, for his feet were beyond reproach but a mustachioed and bewhiskered Byron, an impassive Byron, one who might have lived for a thousand years without ever growing old.”

 

Apologies for any confusion in the subsequent exchanges,

 

Bill

Tout cela est très agréable, je suis sûr, et j'espère que l'entreprise a beaucoup de succès dans cette entreprise, mais il n'est pas exactement ce que je qualifierais de «Byron» est-il? (Francais)

All very nice I am sure, and I hope that the company has a great deal of success in that venture, but he's not exactly what I would call "Byronic" is he? (English)
