"In writing this book I am addressing those readers to whom it is the
spirit of a poem that appeals, and not the exact and 'scholarly' (Anglicé,
dull) translation ... all that I have attempted to do is show the reader
that Egyptian religious poetry had in it something closely akin to our
own, that to these ancient people God showed himself as a God
of Love as well as a God great and terrible ... I have, however,
retained as far as possible a word-for-word translation of many of
the epithets. But in every way I have kept in mind the saying of a
master of translation, 'Translation is an Art, not a Science.'"
