For instance. | | | 3 September 2007 04:28 | | | Thank you Hitchcok, now the original is clear for me. And I do have one question: full of God I fear nothing - full of God is me, the one who speaks or nothing which is full of God can't make me scared? | | | 3 September 2007 10:18 | | guilonNumber of messages: 1549 | Hi, Charisgre, here is a translation of the Camões' poem where this line was extracted from:
"God gave me his blade so that I may wage
His holy war.
He made me his sacred one in honour and disgrace,
At the time when a chill wind blows
Over the frozen earth.
He put his hands on my shoulders and gilded
My brow with his gaze;
And this fever for the Beyond that consumes me,
And this desire for greatness, are but his name
Shivering inside of me.
And I go forth with the light of the sword aloft
Glinting calmness on my countenance.
Full of God, I fear not what will come,
For whatever shall come, it will never be
Any greater than my soul."
I think that the narrator is the one full of God, and being so he fears nothing. | | | 3 September 2007 10:27 | | | Thank you, El Greco! You are a great help for me. Now, finally it is clear. It sounded a little ambiguous before. And the poem is beautiful. Hope to make a good translation in Latin now | | | 5 September 2007 05:06 | | | Hitchcock, if the translation request has no quotation marks (even though it should have), please don't put quotation marks in the translation. |
