Just may be the best translation. A delight of form and substance.

James shows a nice touch with verse. This opening to Canto 4 is one that appealed to me:
Into my soundly dreaming head there broke
A sudden thunder so loud that I shook
Like one shaken awake. When I awoke
With sight restored, I rose and took a look
Around me, keen to know where I might be:
I and my Guide, the man who wrote the book
On quests and questions, doubts and destiny.
