What's the Best Translation of Hafez?
How do you know it was translated brilliantly? That's a very interesting question. You can sort of see now, which is a translation for me? There's not even necessarily only one best one, but which speaks to me? Which do I feel at home in? And I felt that very much with these translations of Hafez. It's like different versions of the Bible. Now there's all sorts of different translations of the Bible and some are in 21st century street language. Others are in old English and so on. And I guess you just got to find the language, the translation that works for you.
