Translation or Nothing

Mary Stewart (1886-1943), Selections from Catullus (Boston: Richard G. Badger, 1915), p. 9:
We may talk as we please about the beauty of the original and the impossibility of adequate translation, but the fact remains that for most of us it is translation or nothing.
On Stewart see D.W. Spangler, "Mary Stewart—Educator, Author, and Club Woman," Colorado Magazine 37 (1950) 218-225.
