“We must become friends of despair if we are to be drawn above it to genuine and heartfelt hope. Far from being
an exercise in morbidity or arrogance, a deepening acquaintance with our
death and with the vanity of human wishes is our worldly hearts a

“These scholars were not pulling the language of the scriptures into the English they knew and used at home. The words of the King James Bible are just as much English pushed towards the condition of a foreign language as a foreign language translated into English. It was, in their words, more important to make English godly than to make the words of God into the sort of prose that any Englishmen would have written, and that secretarial relationship to the original languages of the scriptures shaped the translation. Of course, individual English words and phrases are held up to and examined to the point of a knife.”
