ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am only the first step in the creation of this book. Many other people helped in different capacities along the way: Anastasia Luettecke, who taught me about Roman names; Dr. Ed Uthman

Candide Was Brought Up in a Magnificent Castle and How He Was Driven Thence In the country of Westphalia, in the castle of the most noble Baron of Thunder–ten–tronckh, lived a youth whom Nature had endowed with a most sweet disposition. His face was the true index of his mind. He had a solid judgment joined to the most unaffected simplicity; and hence, I presume, he had his name of Candide.

only Englishman all the New Englanders liked, and who liked all of them, was that most Teutonic Scot, Carlyle. This brings us to Whitman. It is true that Whitman filled his poems with pidgin French. It is also true that his poem on the defeat of the Commune is the best poem, in any language, that still unhealed schism in the French soul inspired.

The indeterminacy of translation invests even the question what objects to construe a term as true of.
