To the Dead Master
Of the Affirmations
CHARLES WILLIAMS
E quant' io l'abbia in grado, mentre io vivo
convien che nella mia lingua si scerna. (Inf. xv. 86-7)
oh. she dedicated the translation to...Prof. Williams. I didn't know that.
Tolkien got those awful movies made of his books, C. S. Lewis got the evangelical Christian crowd all worshipping him, but...Charles Williams got Dorothy Sayers's dedication at the start of a translation of the Divine Comedy.
I feel like one of these honors is in fact much greater than the others
