”People rarely translate poetry for pleasure, especially when it comes to someone as difficult as Goethe. The translator must not only stay faithful to the text. He or she should also reveal the poem’s full beauty while retaining its form and suggesting the epoch’s style and spirit. In your version, Goethe becomes a writer whose odds of achieving world glory are slim.”
