Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poems and Translations I have often thought that at the side of the poetic diction, which everyone condemns, modern verse contains a great deal of poetic material, using poetic in the same special sense. The poetry of exaltation Will be always the highest; but when men lose their poetic feeling for ordinary life, and cannot write poetry of ordinary things, their exalted poetry is likely to lose its strength of exaltation, in the way men cease to build beautiful, churches when they have iost happiness in building shops. Many of the Older poets, such as Villon and Herrick and Burns, used the whole of their personal life as their material, and the verse written in this way was read by strong men, and thieves, and deacons, not by little cliques only. Then, in the town writing of the eighteenth century, ordinary life was put into verse that was not poetry, and when poetry came back with Coleridge and Shelley, it went into verse that was not always human. In these days poetry is usually a flower of evil or good; but it is the timber of poetry that wears most surely, and there is no timber that has not strong roots among the clay and worms. Even if we grant that exalted poetry can be kept successful by itself, the strong things of life are needed in poetry also, to Show that what is exalted or tender is not made by feeble blood. It may almost be said that before verse can be human again it must learn to be brutal. The poems which follow were written at different times during the last sixteen or seventeen years, most of them before the Views just stated, with which they have little to do, had come into my head. The translations are sometimes free, and sometimes almost literal, according as seemed most fitting with the form of language I have used.

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.

Download or read book Translations Classic Reprint written by Ezra Pound and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-12-23 with total page 452 pages. 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 Translations in Poetry and Prose Many of the translations in this volume, and particularly those from Gothe, may be regarded as belonging to the former class; while those from Herder, for instance, will find a place among the productions last mentioned. But however great a degree of pleasure these translations may be calculated to afford, one of the principal reasons, which has given rise to this publication, is to be found in the hope, that they may awaken or foster in the reader a lively desire of becoming acquainted with the originals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Verses and Versions: In English, Greek and Latin N the subject of writing verses - and publishing them George Macdonald, in his Sir Gibbie, says The true end of poetry is to help first the man that makes it along the path to the truth help for other people may or may not be in it To the man who has it the gift is invaluable and, in proportion as it helps him to be a better man, it is of value to the whole world but it may in itself be so nearly worthless that the publishing of it would be more for harm than good. As this volume, like its predecessor, Versions in Verse, from which, perhaps, a quarter of the pieces are here reprinted, some in a revised form, is only intended for private circulation, it cannot in any case come under the condemnation above quoted, but, of course, the interest and value of the original pieces is entirely personal to the writer and his friends. The translations stand on a different footing, and the three from Horace, with some of the Greek and German ones and the Peruvian song, have, I h0pe, an intrinsic merit of their own. I have omitted the whole of Homer's Iliad Book I. For lack of room, and have added some half-a-dozen original poems and one translation by my mother, of whose taste and mental power, however, these few remains of her literary work give but an inadequate idea.

Download or read book Prizes and Proximes written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prizes and Proximes: For Prose and Verse Translation With Some Original Poems A Preface is generally hard to read, and always hard to write. The Editor ventures therefore to reprint what he said last year in introducing a similar volume, entitled, "Prize Translations, Poems, and Parodies." It only remains for him to point out one or two differences which are also, he trusts, improvements. Several Prose Translations have been interspersed. Fewer alternative versions have been admitted. Some Translations and Original Poems, which were likely to have suffered a nine-years' imprisonment, not for the reason that Horace gave to his young friends, but because of the res angusta of he Journal, have obtained their Habeas Corpus. The multitude of translators is no guarantee of wisdom, but it is satisfactory to observe that the interest in the Translation Prizes has not flagged, and that for the "Golds and Reds," whose score is here printed, nearly 1800 arrows have been discharged - not all in vain, though here unrecorded.
