Opis: Odes From the Divan of Hafiz - Gallienne Richard le

Excerpt from Odes From the Divan of Hafiz: Freely Rendered From Literal Translations

The following renderings from Hafiz have been made on the basis of two literal English translations of the poet; namely (1) the prose translation by Colonel Wilberforce Clarke (Calcutta: 1891) and (2) the verse translation "in accordance with the original forms" by Mr. John Payne (London: 1901). As both these gentlemen are learned Persian scholars; as the aim of both has been exact verbal literalness, at any cost, rather then literary transmutation; and as they virtually corroborate each other, I feel myself justified in thinking that in their translations I have as trustworthy, if not more trustworthy, material for the making of an English rendering than if I had studied Persian for myself for ten years. Were I to make such original studies, I should arrive in the end no nearer to the poet's meaning than the previous labours of Colonel Clarke or Mr. Payne enable me to do by the comparatively light study of their translations.
