Did pretty well in the sight reading and translating today.\u00a0 Felt good.\u00a0 My english to latin was pretty good, too.\u00a0 I still have trouble with a few tenses; well, ok, a lot of tenses, but they’re becoming clearer.\u00a0 I’m gradually conceding that I will have to go not only word by word, but possible declension by possible declension, withholding judgment until I’ve worked out the one that makes the most sense.\u00a0 This means any given sentence can have polyvalent meanings.\u00a0\u00a0 Not to come to translation too quickly is important, holding things in suspension until many options have been tried holds out the best hope for a satisfying translation.<\/p>\n
Working on Latin trains the mind, has an equivalence to gymnastics.\u00a0 As I move further into the language and into the text of Ovid, it becomes more intriguing, like the study of art.\u00a0 That’s a good sign for me since I’m dedicated to this work until I get through Ovid or until I can’t do it anymore.<\/p>\n
