>What is most difficult to render from one language into another is the TEMPO of its style, which has its basis in the character of the race, or to speak more physiologically, in the average TEMPO of the assimilation of its nutriment. There are honestly meant translations, which, as involuntary vulgarizations, are almost falsifications of the original, merely because its lively and merry TEMPO (which overleaps and obviates all dangers in word and expression) could not also be rendered. A German is almost incapacitated for PRESTO in his language; consequently also, as may be reasonably inferred, for many of the most delightful and daring NUANCES of free, free-spirited thought. And just as the buffoon and satyr are foreign to him in body and conscience, so Aristophanes and Petronius are untranslatable for him. Everything ponderous, viscous, and pompously clumsy, all long-winded and wearying species of style, are developed in profuse variety among Germans--pardon me for stating the fact that even Goethe's prose, in its mixture of stiffness and elegance, is no exception, as a reflection of the "good old time" to which it belongs, and as an expression of German taste at a time when there was still a "German taste," which was a rococo-taste in moribus et artibus. Lessing is an exception, owing to his histrionic nature, which understood much, and was versed in many things; he who was not the translator of Bayle to no purpose, who took refuge willingly in the shadow of Diderot and Voltaire, and still more willingly among the Roman comedy-writers--Lessing loved also free-spiritism in the TEMPO, and flight out of Germany. But how could the German language, even in the prose of Lessing, imitate the TEMPO of Machiavelli, who in his "Principe" makes us breathe the dry, fine air of Florence, and cannot help presenting the most serious events in a boisterous allegrissimo, perhaps not without a malicious artistic sense of the contrast he ventures to present--long, heavy, difficult, dangerous thoughts, and a TEMPO of the gallop, and of the best, wantonest humour? Finally, who would venture on a German translation of Petronius, who, more than any great musician hitherto, was a master of PRESTO in invention, ideas, and words?

because an anonymous reading board whose threads revolve and archive constantly is a terrible form of discourse for something lengthy like a group reading of a classic.

keeping a discussion here is fine but there needs to be a solid platform to organize schedules, accountability, etc etc.

this is all from an outsider's perspective, btw.

Meanwhile the /lit/ discord has successfully completed reading the Makioka Sisters, Melmoth the Wanderer, Don Quixote, Middle C, Hyperion (Holderlin), and more during that same period.

wtf i love max ernst now

If a book had any ideas worth keeping you would've gotten them in the first pass.

So you're in the clear imhotbqh.

less pleb than people who's brains are numb enough to not revolt to havint to digest the same informations twice. it's the same people that need to learn the shit their lector discussed in class at home a second time

>Incidentally, I use the word reader very loosely. Curiously enough, one cannot read a book: one can only reread it. A good reader, a major reader, an active and creative reader is a rereader. And I shall tell you why. When we read a book for the first time the very process of laboriously moving our eyes from left to right, line after line, page after page, this complicated physical work upon the book, the very process of learning in terms of space and time what the book is about, this stands between us and artistic appreciation. When we look at a painting we do not have to move our eyes in a special way even if, as in a book, the picture contains elements of depth and development. The element of time does not really enter in a first contact with a painting. In reading a book, we must have time to acquaint ourselves with it. We have no physical organ (as we have the eye in regard to a painting) that takes in the whole picture and then can enjoy its details. But at a second, or third, or fourth reading we do, in a sense, behave towards a book as we do towards a painting. However, let us not confuse the physical eye, that monstrous masterpiece of evolution, with the mind, an even more monstrous achievement. A book, no matter what it is—a work of fiction or a work of science (the boundary line between the two is not as clear as is generally believed)—a book of fiction appeals first of all to the mind. The mind, the brain, the top of the tingling spine, is, or should be, the only instrument used upon a book.

He wrote his Zibaldone to be published after his death. He was fine with it (and to be fair all of his contemporaries knew about what kind of life he was living).

It doesn't need to be, but beneficial to extract as much as possible from every work instead of going back and forth. Purely saving time.

I'm going to quote my English professor here because its relevant:

>The order in which you receive information changes how you view things.

If you started from the contemporaries and feminist literature and then read the Bible, you would hate the Bible because its sexist/racist etc. Likewise if you started with the Bible and worked forward you would see feminism as the story of Lot, Sodom and Gomorrah.

ok what I think I might do is read all the stuff that's interesting to me now and then do a minor in classics or something like that and then build my base from there, maybe rereading the things I feel worth it
