Five Wise Lines [June 2024]
The man who says to me, “Believe as I do, or God will damn thee,” will presently say, “Believe as I do, or I shall assassinate thee.”
Voltaire, in On superstition
The real voyage of discovery lies not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.
Marcel proust
The translation of a poem having any depth ends by being one of two things: Either it is the expression of the translator, virtually a new poem, or it is as it were a photograph, as exact as possible, of one side of the statue.

The people are of supreme importance to the ruler,
Chinese adage
food is of supreme importance to the people.
All translators face two choices: leave the reader in peace and drag the author closer, or leave the author in peace and drag the reader closer.

NOTE: This village of caves located on the wall of a deep gorge (Khor Dzor) was occupied until the late 1950’s or into 1960’s (depending upon who you talk to.) In 1958 a “regular” village was built nearby, and the residents moved into the new village. Lest one think this was just some tiny backward settlement, it was for some time the largest village in Eastern Armenia with over 8,000 residents serviced by some 30 shops, seven schools, and a number of professional service providers.
