3.0 out of 5 stars
More sensual translations are out there,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Greek Poems (Hardcover)
Cavafy is a VERY sensual poet. Unfortunately for those of us who do not read Greek, we have to depend on a translator to give us his or her version of the original. Since I don't know Greek, I compared three different translations of these poems. This particular translation was good, but didn't capture the sensuousness I felt from the Keeley/Sherrard translation. That translation used more action words that gave the poetry a more palpable mood. Unfortunately I don't know what the literal translation is, so I can't say which is more true to Cavafy's intent. As in all art, this is a matter of personal preference. One must read for him or herself.
