>Emily Wilson, a classical studies professor at the University of Pennsylvania, set herself a challenging task — to translate Homer’s Odyssey into modern English in lines of iambic pentameter.

>To complicate things, she also decided to produce a translation that was the same length as the original, same number of lines per book and same number for the whole poem. She explains:

>> I chose to write within this difficult constraint because any translations without such limitations will tend to be longer than the original, and I wanted a narrative pace that could match its stride to Homer’s nimble gallop.

>Wilson notes that the original “reads nothing like prose and nothing like any spoken or nonpoetic kinds of discourse.” Neither does it read like free verse, the approach used by most modern translators who, she writes, don’t attempt to create a regular line beat. That, to her mind, is wrongheaded.

So she somehow produces a translation that lacks all poetic beauty and soul?
I have no words to describe this feeling.

Its really just that infamously undersold, modernized opening line that hurts Wilson. It's not a bad experiment to retranslate Homer more narrowly, but it reads so horribly modern and affected that its hard to shake the first impression of a stupid cunt writing a blogpost.

I enjoy nature at a level that would make you shit your pants if your untrained mind experienced it for even one second. When I look at a random leaf on the sidewalk I become a transparent eye-ball; I am nothing; I see all; the currents of the Universal Being circulate through me; I am part or particle of God.

>those "Interesting people" are your peers
If they can't induce psychedelic nature mysticism episodes while looking at random leaves and they don't break out in tears when reading Hegel then they are no more my peers than pieces of plastic refuse on the train tracks are my peers. Refuse which by the way these "interesting people" produce because they think they are more important than nature and reality. That is the ultimate form of nihilism, negating the entire world insofar as it is convenient for your omnipotent self.
