Translation as the multiplier of potential personal encounters with the text: A new translation is not a competition with previous translations but a reminder of the freshness of the classic text and a renewal and expansion of its presence on our bookshelves and in our minds. As for the mechanics of this particular translation, Smith lays out some of the choices he has made. Nevertheless, the off-rhyme is so frequent that the ear must strain at times to catch even a hint of true rhyme.
The effect is consistent throughout, but with time the gesture toward rhyme takes on a vaguely poetical quality that reminds readers that we are dealing with poetry, without actually employing metrical properties to any other effect. One such unclear moment comes when Mephistopheles says to Faust: Project MUSE promotes the creation and dissemination of essential humanities and social science resources through collaboration with libraries, publishers, and scholars worldwide.
Forged from a partnership between a university press and a library, Project MUSE is a trusted part of the academic and scholarly community it serves. Built on the Johns Hopkins University Campus.
