To translate is to re-birth ideas and images. Translation is creation: of another form, another life. Translation breathes into a new text, through another language, the life of the original text. A labor of love indeed.
The sentencing goes blithely on its way And takes the playfully objected rhyme As surely as it keeps the stroke and time In having its undeviable say. -Robert Frost, "In a Poem" | Et l'Idée repose dans la Parole. Et les bêtes-passions vivent dans le souffle, leur danse selon l'Idée de la Parole est rythme libre. -René Daumal, Le Contre-Ciel |
