Romantic legends of Spain

A WORD regarding the circumstances under which this translation was made will be pardoned by all children of dear mothers. Mrs. Cornelia Frances Bates (1826-1908), a graduate of Mount Holyoke in the days of Mary Lyon and the widow of a Congregational minister, took up the study of Spanish at the age of seventy-one. Until her death ten years later, the proverbial ten years of labor and sorrow, her Spanish readings and translations were a keen intellectual delight. Her Spanish Bible, from which she had committed many passages to memory, was found at her death no less worn than her English one. Even a few hours before dying, she repeated in Spanish, without the failure of a syllable, the Shepherds Psalm and the Lords Prayer. So youthful was her spirit that, of the various modern Spanish works with which she became acquainted, nothing fascinated her so much as Becquers strange, romantic tales. The wilder they were, the brighter would be the eager face, under its soft white cap, bent over the familiar little green volumes and the great red dictionary. Seeing the pleasure she took in these legends and learning that no complete English translation existed, I suggested that we unite in a Becquer Book. Her {vi}full share of the work was promptly done; mine was delayed; and the volumewhich we had meant to inscribe to my sisterbecomes her own memorial. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
