[13] Hegel's Werke, X, 473. For Hegel's view of the character of the Persian Lyrical Poetry, see note _B_. M. Bénard's French Translation, which has been much praised, gives the passage quoted above, only in a summary form, and in it the reference to Rückert is entirely left out. He too, like so many other translators, has the happy knack of slipping over a troublesome phrase at times, while gracefully flourishing an elegant sentence before the delighted eyes of his guileless Reader!

[23] If anyone is inclined to think anything in this criticism—which has been much curtailed—too severe, let him or her turn to Von Hammer's Account of Omar Khayyám in Note C and following Remarks. Gazels of Jeláleddín Done into English 'Why heed the Critics who delight to dart Their sneer-tipped arrows at translator's art? The poet's work remains his own at last Though it in other languages be cast. And in the sky of Fame it still will shine, By that which made it at the first divine. But in this foreign dress some soul may see A hint of that which fascinated me; Some deep impression be still deeper made When by our muse-beloved tongue conveyed; Some beauty be with newer beauty set; Some thought that will with fresh emotion fret Some gentle breast, or with strange music sweep O'er heaving waters of the spirit's deep.'
