« Only, no doubt the translator of poetry - hence his suffering in the face of the impossibility of the task - knows that all the words of a language are mistreated by the passage, by the mutation of one language to another. The translator may well retain the meaning of the words, then reduced to signs, but he loses the sound, the resonance that were theirs in the original language. He loses the flesh of words and their souls. »
