Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Translations Translating does not, for him, differ in essence from any other poetic job; as the poet begins by seeing, so the translator by reading; but his reading must be a kind of seeing. Hence the miraculous accomplishment of Pound's translations sitting down before a text, he doesn't chafe at restrictions unusual to his lyric practice. A good translation seems like a miracle because one who can read the original can, so to speak, see the poem before the poet writes it, and marvel at the success of his wrestle to subdue his own language to the vision; but Pound has always written as if to meet a test of this kind, in a spirit of utter fidelity to his material, whether a document or an intuition. He has told of working six months to fix a complex instantaneous emotion in fourteen words. Translation is indeed for Pound somewhat easier than what is called 'original composition'; those six months were spent less on finding the words than in bringing the emotion into focus, and a text to be translated, once grasped, doesn't wobble. The technical difficulty is comparable, but the emotional discipline, if no less exacting, less exhausting. Pound has for this reason recommended translation as an exercise to young poets plagued by the tendency of what they are trying to express to undergo expedient transformations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poems, Original and Translations Those who know me only in my philosophical andscientific writing will feel some surprise to find me in the role of poetry. While I was very fond of it in my childhood and read much of it I never ventured on writing or translating any of it until I was far past fifty. I remembered that Darwin lost his love of poetry from the influence of his scientific studies, and one motive, perhaps the chief one, in publishing this little volume is to give testimony to the fact that science may not always destroy the poetic sense. Darwin lost his faith from the materialistic tendencies of histheories, and with ithe lost the love for poetry which goes with some sort of faith. I, too, lost mine, but had it restored by deeper draughts from the source which had first deprived me of it. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, Drink deep, or touch not the Pierian spring. But whatever the influence, age and scientific studies have not dimmed at last the passion for that literature which has cheered or soothed the race from the time of Homer and Sappho. The original poems, both in English and German, required a special mood to suggest and create them. This mood was not and is not always at my command.

But my object has been to gather into one volume such specimens of the Poetry of the North and South, translated by myself, as might show those differences which spring from diversity of race, temperament, and climate, and yet exhibit that unfailing bond of brotherhood, whereby the Poet-heart every where recognizes truth, and love, and the beautiful, and a higher life than ours is here.

Download or read book Verse Translations From Classic Authors Classic Reprint written by C. E. F. Starkey and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Verse Translations From Classic Authors It is an instructive fact that the French word "traduire," "to translate," is derived from "traducere," a word which has as a secondary meaning "to ridicule" or "misrepresent," while the English form, "traduce," has a still uglier signification. To translate must always be to traduce to a greater or less degree; either spirit or letter must be more or less lost in the process, even in the most perfect translation. Every language possesses its own metaphors, idioms, turns of expression, and modes of thought; every language has its own constructions, syntax, metrical system; and the successful transference of a thought from one language to another depends on the skill of the translator in deciding whether he may employ the same metaphor, metre, or what not, or must cast about for a corresponding or similar one which shall produce the same effect. Perhaps these remarks may best be illustrated by mentioning a perfect example of what a translation ought not to be. Nothing will suit our purpose better than Miltons famous "traduction" of Horace's Ode to Pyrrha. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Vinton's Poems: Translations, Miscellaneous, Sacred and Humorous Perhaps no one was ever more keenly sensible of the vanity of human hopes than I am at the present time, to see the various typographical errors that have escaped my notice until it is too late to correct them, and to know that I must bear the charge of negligence. Some of the poems were written while engaged in Sunday School work, and were at that time adapted to music and copyrighted by myself; but, of course, any of them may be Copied by others if the common cour tesy of proper acknowledgement be made. Though the whole performance may possess but little merit in the eyes of some, still, I believe there is nothing in the volume that can mislead an honest mind, or can be construed as a desire, on my part, to teach error. Hoping that any who may read my book may find something in it to please and instruct, I remain a wisher of much good to all. J. D. V.
