Famous quotes containing the words translation and/or english:
“To translate, one must have a style of his own, for otherwise the translation will have no rhythm or nuance, which come from the process of artistically thinking through and molding the sentences; they cannot be reconstituted by piecemeal imitation. The problem of translation is to retreat to a simpler tenor of ones own style and creatively adjust this to ones author.”
—Paul Goodman (19111972)
“Red lips are not so red As the stained stones kissed by the English dead.”
—Wilfred Owen (18931918)
