Selected Verse: Dual-Language Edition With Plain Prose Translations of Each Poem (Penguin Poets) (German and English Edition) ReviewThis is a dual language work. It is a rich selection of the poetry of one of the Western tradition's greatest poets. The German original is on the page in poetry, and below in smaller print is the English translation. I believe that only a person who knows German well can truly appreciate the greatness of Goethe's poetry. The English translations do not pretend to be poetry, and do not sound like it. They are made in a somewhat archaic, stilted language.
I select one poem as an example a poem called ' Autumn Mood'. The translation reads as follows: ' More lushly green, you leaves on the vine trellis, grow here up my window!More thickly swell, twin berries, and ripen more quickly to more lustrous fullness!The parting gleam of your mother the sun broods over your birth; the sweet sky's fecund bounty suspires around you; the kindly moon breathes cooling magic upon you, and ah1these eyes bedew you with the full-flowing tears of love that eternally gives life."
This despite the exclamation points does not ' sound' in English
as it must in the original.Selected Verse: Dual-Language Edition With Plain Prose Translations of Each Poem (Penguin Poets) (German and English Edition) Overview
