| Quotation | The [Leon] Wieger [French translation of Chuang Tzu] is good to have. He is breezy and to some extent helpful, but above all it is fine to have the Chinese text. [Richard] Wilhelm [German translator of Chuang Tzu] has also arrived and I agree with you, he strikes one as very very solid and trustworthy. I like his work, and am glad to have this. With these translations I ought to be able to do something eventually. It will necessarily be slow and awkward, however. |
