I have a goal of finishing a complete translation of his "Alcools" within the next year or so-- I'd gotten pretty far along in the 90s, then put it on the shelf. <BR/><BR/>Don't know that film, but will keep an eye out for it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15687192784861682991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-11803381606883843712009-03-07T16:05:00.000-08:002009-03-07T16:05:00.000-08:00This is a beautiful poem and I am so pleased to be...This is a beautiful poem and I am so pleased to be introduced to this poet.<BR/>I love how the movement of the river represents their love and how it flows away, never to return in its same form.

It's probably instinctual.<BR/><BR/>You have to be a poet to translate poetry, don't you? What an incredible translation.
