The Responsibility of Translating Marcus Aurelius | David Hernández de la Fuente
The Daily Stoic
Quality of Writing Reflects Diverse Influences
The speaker admires Marcus' improvisational and beautiful writing, envisioning him as a published author due to his skill with metaphors from various aspects of life. Marcus' works reflect influences from the natural world, animal world, sports, boxing, self-awareness, and his extensive reading in strategies, comedy, and philosophy. He quotes from memory and is deeply connected to his culture. The complexity of his writing makes it personal and challenging to translate, with vivid passages describing nature's elements like stocks of grain, foam on a boar's mouth, and the furrowed brow of a lion.
