Named for the Castle of Duino, on a rocky headland of the Adriatic, the Duino Elegies speaks in a voice that is both intimate and majestic on the mysteries of human life and our attempt, in the words of the translator, 'to use our self-consciousness to some advantage: to transcend, through art and the imagination, our self-deception and our fear.'
Review:
"[Snow's] translation of the ELEGIES is the finest that I heave ever read....Snow understands the destabilizing effect that rhythm can have on poetic language, and he knows better than any other translator of these poems how to create a psychological presence with the implements of grammar and sound. His work stands the highest test that can be put to any translation: it would be a worthy poetic achievement even without the original to prop it up."
