Bill is right. Harry actually quoted from the sempiternal G. M. Towle translation, which is significantly less reliable than Bill's excellent OUP rendering.

All the best,

  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)
