Excerpt from �loges and Other Poems The first edition Of this translation, published in 1944, contained a Translator's Note in which I said: For the translation Of un translatable poetry, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, in his preface to the unpublished German edition Of st.-john Perse's Anabase, Offered the unanswerable excuse a work Of this kind is simply untranslatable.
