In Translation, Strong as Ever Pessoa, Fernando. The Selected Poetry of Fernando Pessoa. The Poetry of Jaroslav Seifert. Ed. by George Gibian. Poems New and Collected, 1957-1997.
Poetry is said to be the hardest literary form to translate adequately.
Three twentieth-century masters are, however, so impressive in new English versions that that traditional wisdom seems foolish. Whereas Whitman expressed a single persona, however expansive, Pessoa wrote as four different poets. It isn't enough not to be blind. It is also necessary to have no philosophy. He wrote enthusiastic, Whitmanian early poems but burned out, concluding in his shorter late poems that there was nowhere to go.
