For you, if you have to know the Chaff from the grain!
If the text is original, the art of translation requires little as the
origin to imagination. If the translation requires an imaginative
insertion, an enigmatic quip, a riddling orifice called Eros, the art
of imagination becomes so original that even the real author will be
surprised! When Borges was translating the original Homer into Spanish,
he found himself contending the poetic. Literary and literally the poet
and blindness complemented each other as an ailment as well as the
poem.
