Powerful translations of a seminal figure in modern poetryGladly the boatman turns home to the river's calmFrom his harvest on faraway isles;If only I too were homeward bound;Yet what harvest have I but sorrow?O blessd riverbanks that raised me,Can you ease the sorrows of love? Ah, when I comeTo you, woods of my youth, will youGrant me peace once again?From 'Home'For more than a century, Friedrich Hlderlin has been considered one of the key figures in modern European literature. The translations in Odes and Elegies, including poems never before available in English, render forcefully and directly the deep longing and heartbreak of Hlderlin's poetic world. A bilingual edition, this book is the first major translation of these poems since the 1960s. Odes and Elegies opens to the English reader the unique poetic voice that marks Hlderlin's achievement and continuing influence on poetry and philosophy today.Sample Poem:Gladly the boatman turns home to the river's calmFrom his harvest on faraway isles;If only I too were homeward bound;Yet what harvest have I but sorrow?O blessd riverbanks that raised me,Can you ease the sorrows of love? Ah, when I comeTo you, woods of my youth, will youGrant me peace once again?From 'Home'
