TRANSLATING (4)

The best translation is not that which is most like the original but which is the most different from it.

G. Bradford



Prayer is translation. A man translates himself into a child asking for all there is in a language he has barely mastered.

Leonard Cohen



Poetry is what gets lost in translation.

Robert Frost



What is lost in a good or excellent translation is precisely the best.

Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
