...Icelandic Sagas differ from European literature both in their style and in the circumstances which prompted their composition. Iceland, during her development lived in peace. The Icelanders were proud of their traditions and thus old tales were preserved in their integrity. Consequently the Sagas impress the reader with a belief in their truthfulnes...
...terza rima" which Dante used because of the paucity of rhyme words in English as compared with Italian throws out all chances of producing an English version of the Divine Comedy, which, even approximately, shall produce the effect of the original.

For instance, for several years prior to last year's race Cambridge won by superior leg work. Cambridge, however, was becoming careless in body form, and Oxford, perceiving her error, worked until she successfully grafted good leg work upon good style, which she has always preserved easily on account of the enlistment...
