"Clearly, once the student is no longer a student the possibilities of relationship are enlarged." ― Marilyn Hacker Topic(s): Beauty More From Marilyn Hacker "Translation is an interestingly different way to be involved both with poetry and with the language that I’ve found myself living in much of the time. I think the two feed each other." "I have experienced healing through other writers’ poetry, but there’s no way I can sit down to write in the hope a poem will have healing potential. If I do, I’ll write a bad poem." "When you translate poetry in particular, you’re obliged to look at how the writer with whom you’re working puts together words, sentences, phrases, the triple tension between the line of verse, the syntax and the sentence." More In Beauty "I do not see any beauty in self-restraint."― Mary MacLane "As for everything else, so for a mathematical theory: beauty can be perceived but not explained."― Arthur Cayley "If you look deep enough you will see music; the heart of nature being everywhere music."― Thomas Carlyle
