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.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Verse Translations From Classic Authors These translations have been made from time to time during the last ten years for the use of my more advanced pupils, and I have found them of very great assistance in producing that effect oflife and reality which is often sosadly to seek in the translation of the schoolboy or undergraduate. I have observed on many occasions that a free verse translation has been far more serviceable in helping a form or an individual to catch the inner meaning of a classic poet, than the most accurate word-for-word version though the latter, of course, has its very useful and proper place, which it is in no danger of losing in these days of revision and re-revision of texts, collating and estimating manuscripts, and revolution ising our established notions in ancient history, literature.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old English Poetry: Translations Into Alliterative Verse With Introductions and Notes In this book of Old English poetry an effort has been made to bring together and reproduce in modern English alliterative verse, the best and most representative portions of the considerable body of extant poetry produced in England between the time of the Anglo-Saxon invasion and the Norman conquest. The classification of this poetry into the main types of Epic, Lyric, Gnomic and Historic Poetry, while necessarily formal, does no real violence to the principle of historic continuity. Widsith and Beowulf belong to the earlier period, Brunnanburg and Maldon to the later, and to this extent the arrangement is chronological as well as topical. The conditions under which this early poetry was produced and transmitted render exact dating extremely difficult or impossible and in view of the comparative fixity of form throughout the whole period, the division according to genre is not only the most convenient but the most natural. While designed chiefly for use in College and High School in connection with survey courses in English literature, it is hoped that the general reader and student of English literature and history may find more than mere text-book matter in the volume. The brief general introductions to the various types, Heroic Epic, Biblical Epic, Saints' Legends, etc., if read through consecutively, will give a fair survey of the field of Old English poetry, and the selected bibliography will orient the student who wishes to pursue further his reading in this field.
