I grew up with this book. I absolutely loved it, and spent several years not thinking about it, until I remembered the chapter of the two leaves, which was my favorite chapter. I dug it up again and read it aloud to my wife. Just a wonderful book. I didn't really come away with half the interpretations that the author of this piece had, but that's okay. I didn't see it as an allegory for anything. I just loved how unromantic and poetic it was at the same time. I could analyze the book any which way, but the overall feeling it left me with is cohesive, strong, and original. As for this piece, I wish he had gone more into the difference between the translations. That's how the piece started, and it ended with him simply saying the Chambers translation (the pre-existing one) is better. Didn't even include a comparison example.
