 +"Translation is carry-over. It is a means of delivery and of bringing to life. It begins with a forced change of language, but a change too that opens up the possiblity of greater understanding. Everything in these song-poems is finally translatable: words, sounds ,voice, melody, gesture, event, etc., in the reconstitution of a unity that woudl be shattered by approaching each element in isolation. A full and total experience begins it, which only a total translation can fully bring across." (392)
