Robbery, butchery, and theft -- they call these things empire, and where they create a desert, they call it peace.

The translator needs to be translator, literary critic, and poet all at once -- he must read the original well enough to understand all the machinery at play, to convey its meaning with as much accuracy as possible, then rearrange the translated meaning into an aesthetically pleasing structure in the target language matching the original. The poet runs untrammeled across the meadow. The translator dances in shackles.
