Berlin By Grahame Davies Translated by A.Z. Foreman Click to hear me read the original Welsh Sgt. Nikolai Masalov saved a girl's life on April 28, 1945, during the Battle of Berlin. After the war, a statue recording the event was erected in Treptower Park. We heard her voice amid the sound of guns As we were advancing on the Reichstag, With Nazi bullets chewing up the bridge's statues and our company's cover.  Then, through the smoke, we saw her, a three-year-old German girl crying out amid the troops, beside her mother's corpse. I was not a bronze man at the time when I jumped off that bridge into the river, with Fascists' bullets thrashing up the water around me. I was much uglier than the dapper statue After I'd dragged back through the mud and oil of the river Spree With the girl in my arms. Many times I've been asked: why. At the time, it was instinct: Rescuing a child was as natural as killing an enemy. Now that both Reich and Soviets have receded like...

Stone Children By Lera Yanysheva Translated by A.Z. Foreman It hurts. It's crushing me. Forgive me. Please.    How can you have just left me all at once? I didn't know I would give death to you. Oh God what have I done? Forgive me, sons. My sons, they've paid for sins that I committed. Gone through agony because of me.  I wanted the fine life, the house, the money. Some other Lovara live in luxury.... I wanted you to not want for a thing, A fortune to keep my boys set for life.  So I went and sold my soul to a foul man And started selling heroin as a wife.  What good is all this money to me now?  Oh Christ! What have they gone and done? Why, those Boys knew exactly where to score some smack.  They shot each other up and overdosed. I bought them this luxurious monument. This is the marble that they sleep below. I had to bury you, my boys, my babies. Fortune and fine life left me long ago. Standing and staring at the iron crosses I've locked my hea...

Maloom kissai, lahu apna is qadar lazeez hai, Teri bewafai, teri berukhi, mujhe aaj bhi azeez hai, Rangat uski chand jaisi, gulabi uske hont hain, Andhere jaisa dil mera aur kali meri kameez hai, Gham-e-ishq main ager peete ho tou jurm likha nahi jaata, Loh-o-kalam ko bhi aakhir, muhabat ki tameez hai, Shab-e-vasl aai gi jab, Hassan tab he tera ilaaj hoga, Kai tu jaam ka nahi Saqi ki nazar ka mareez hai, Who knew that one's own blood could be this delicious? Your betrayal, your aloofness, till today I desire it, Her countenance is moon like, rose pink are her lips, Like the dark night is my heart, black is the color of my shirt, If you drink in the sorrow of love, your sin is not written, Even the Book and the Pen, know to respect love, When the night of reunion comes, only then will you heal Hassan, For your disease is not the drink but the sight of the Saqi, - Hassan Bin Fahim

The books of Samuel are beset with textual problems. The texts we have are in several places quite corrupt. To me it seems fairly likely that we do not have the "original" text of this poem, nor will we ever. In such circumstances, the translator of biblical literature is stuck between a Rock and a God Place, between having to choose among a dizzying array of possible emendations and paleographic possibilities, or trying to deal with the text as it now is. I would have liked to be able to accept with confidence the radical emendations proposed by some. For example, those of Hollyday in Form and Word-Play in David's Lament over Saul and Jonathan  if for no other reason than that some of his propositions make for interesting poetry. Hollyday and Gurvitz take the entire song to start one line earlier, and emend 2 Sam 1:18 with this in mind. Hollyday for example proposes ????? ??? ?????? ???????? ?????? ????? ????? ???????? ("A howling bitter weep, O Judah! Pangs of a w...
