babel, or the necessity of violence by r. f. kuang

HISTORY isn't a premade tapestry that we've got to suffer, a closed world with no exit. We can form it. Make it. We just have to choose to make it.

“i think translation can be much harder than original composition in many ways. the poet is free to say whatever he likes, you see – he can choose from any number of linguistic tricks in the language he’s composing in. word choice, word order, sound – they all matter, and without any one of them the whole thing falls apart. that’s why shelley writes that translating poetry is about as wise as casting a violet into a crucible. so the translator needs to be translator, literary critic, and poet all at once – he must read the original well enough to understand all the machinery at play, to convey its meaning with as much accuracy as possible, then rearrange the translated meaning into an aesthetically pleasing structure in the target language that, by his judgment, matches the original. the poet runs untrammeled across the meadow. the translator dances in shackles.”

I killed the American, I was the only one who shot at you. They did nothing… nothing. Kill me, but save my brother, he did nothing… nothing. Save my brother… he did nothing.

languages aren’t just made of words. they’re modes of looking at the world. they’re the keys to civilization. and that’s knowledge worth killing for. — babel, by r.f. kuang
