i think maybe these look better in black and white. maybe i'll translate the other ones. i was burning out on reading and i got two more today, one was skinny and i burned through it already. it was three short biographical essays. i started the other, this little art, first and felt my brain luff, then thought i'll zip the skinny then try again and now i'm into it. it's by a translator about translation, the art of, and i now like translation as the primary text which it is if you don't read other languages and i don't i'm still learning english but i used to think i should only read english as i'm not able to read the original. now i feel a good translation is original in itself. and i think of thou art translated, like everything is, translation is everyday alchemy like we all do between people and dogs and people and people everything we say is a translation of something ineffable within that we pray in a paganist way we may translate.
