Deutsche Übersetzung

Der blumige Stil eignet sich nicht für öffentliche Reden oder Ansprachen, die nur ein Kompliment darstellen. Die helleren Schönheiten sind an ihrem Platz, wenn es nichts festeres zu sagen gibt; aber der blumige Stil sollte aus einem Flehen, einer Predigt oder einem didaktischen Werk verbannt werden.
