To a Friend Without a Name

Through lazy summer afternoons I wreathed slow thought to unsung tunes. And you some winter evening may Take up my finished book and say 'This molten thought was his who wrought No less the thoughts of other men - ' Or, closing, curse too feeble verse, The penned, the penman, and the pen.

No matter what you think or do This book is yours and made for you Take it and read it through. CKSM 1906

Industry Reviews

Times Literary Supplement June 18th 2015;It is the season of C. K. Scott Moncrieff. It has been a long season beginning last summer with the publication of Chasing Lost Time a biography of Scott Moncrieff by Jean Findlay, his great-great-niece. CKSM was responsible for a great many translations - in 1926 alone, he published four: three novels by Stendhal and one by Pirandello (Shoot!) - but it is for his rendering of Proust into English that he is best known. Supporters like to invoke Conrad's remark to the translator, that he was `more interested and fascinated by your rendering than by Proust's creation.' ...In his TLS review of Ms Findlay's biography (October 31, 2014), A.N. Wilson complimented CKSM in similar style to Conrad, suggesting that he is `more Proustian than Proust himself.'
