Yourcenar as a Translator: her Kavafis
Abstract
Translation is the only way to fight the myth of Babel. The one sole language which this myth invents has never existed anywhere, and diversity is not a punishment at all, on the contrary, it is a natural condition among people. This article deals with translation of poetry, a practice which, as far as critique is concerned, has two poles: it is either brought to a superior level, or it is reduced to great contempt, because it often remains subordinated to other literary genres. And, more specifically, the article presents one particular case of translation: Yourcenar's Kavafis.
