Ovid's Metamorphoses 1:299f

and where today graceful goats grazed on grasses here now ungainly seal cows park their carcasses

my translation of
"et modo qua graciles gramen carpsere capellae,
nunc ibi deformes ponunt sua corpora phocae.

Krishnamurti's Freedom from the 'Known'

"All authority of any kind, especially in the field of thought and understanding, is the most destructive evil thing. Leaders destroy the followers and followers destroy the leaders. You have to be your own teacher and your own disciple. You have to question everything that Man has accepted as valuable, as necessary."
Jiddu Krishnamurti ,(1975b)[1969]. Lutyens,Mary,ed.Freedom From The Known,p.21,para.36

BibleGateway.com on translations

"All translations fall short for a variety of reasons. First, no two languages are equivalent in their vocabulary, sounds, rhythms, idioms, or underlying structure. Nor are any two cultures out of which languages arise equivalent in their way of understanding and expressing reality, their value systems, or their social and political organization, among other factors. Second, the meaning of a text includes much more than its abstract thought. The sounds and rhythms of words, word play and puns, emotional overtones, metaphor, figurative language, and tone are just some of the other devices that carry meaning. No translation can transfer all these things from one language to another. Third, all translation requires interpretation. One cannot convey meaning in a second language without first deciding what it means in the original. This step of interpretation in translation is unavoidable and imperfect; equally skilled and well-meaning scholars will interpret differently. Fourth, a traditional translation requires one to choose a single possibility—whether of a word or an interpretation—when in fact two or more may be plausible."

Tolkien

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien: oft entranced, at times inspired by the Psithurism and Hamadryads of ancient trees...

my translation from Homer's Iliad 24:347,8

Βῆ δ' ἰέναι κούρῳ αἰσυμνητῆρι ἐοικώς,
πρῶτον ὑπηνήτῃ, τοῦ περ χαριεστάτη ἥβη. [illiad 24:347,8]

Then Hermes started out to go, looking like a young prince with a
down mustache, whose youthfulness seems exceedingly charming.

excerpt from Zufriedenheit

"Die Wirklichkeit der Thaten geht nich unter,/ Wie Sterne glänzen, giebt ein Leben gross und munter." Friedrich Hölderlin, "Zufriedenheit"

~ The Realness of actions goes not forgotten,/ like stars they shine,/ stimulating life to joy. LXD

Note on "charging language"

“Pound describes three main methods of 'charging language': melopoeia: 'inducing emotional correlations by the sound and rhythm of speech' phanopoeia: 'throwing the object onto the visual imagination' logopoeia: 'using the intellectual and emotional associations of words and word groups” [nicked from WordNik]

THEOGNIS 1263-1266 ~ my own translation

*******

ὦ παῖ, τὴν μορφὴν μὲν ἔφυς καὶ καλός, ἀλλ' ἐπίκειται
καρτερὸς ἀγνώμων σῇ κεφαλῇ στέφανος·
ἰκτίνου γὰρ ἔχεις ἀγχιστρόφου ἐν φρεσὶν ἦθος,
ἄλλων ἀνδρώπων ῥήμασι πειθόμενος.

Boy, you grew your body so beautiful, but laid upon
your head is a resolutely unloving coronet,
for in your heart you have the ethics of a sea hawk,
easily won over by what other people say.
