The Life of Goethe "The meaning of the poem and the meaning of the individual

words may be produced but in a poem meaning and form are asindissoluble as soul and body and the form cannot be reproduced.The effect of poetry is a compound of music and suggestion, thismusic and this suggestion are intermingled in words, to alterwhich is to alter the effect. For, words in poetry are not, as inprose simple representatives of object and ideas, they are parts ofan organic whole - they are tones in the harmony - words havetheir music and their shades of meaning for delicate for accuratereproduction in any other form. The suggestiveness of one wordcannot be conveyed by another. Now all translation is ofnecessity a substitution of one word for another, the substitutemay express the meaning but it cannot accurately reproduce themusic, nor those precise shades of suggestiveness on which thedelicacy and the beauty of the original depend. Words are not

only symbols of object but centres of associations, and theirsuggestiveness depends partly on their sound." 2

Paul Selver

"As regard verbal melody, it is obvious that when a poem is

transmuted from one language to another, its actual sounds,including such musical effects as they produce, must almostinevitably undergo radical changes. What emerges will moreoften than not be different, admirable perhaps but different." 3

The nightHas unfoldedA new crisis for meIt emptied my eyes of sleep And filled The sockets with tears And whispered into my ears You have been exoneratedOf all crimesAnd henceforth set free For all times Go where ever you wishAwake or sleepThe doorway to dreams is closed

The night has assigned a new anchorageto me today It plucked sleep from my eyes and filled them with tears Then it whispered in my ears I am absolving you of every crimeand setting you free for ever Go where ver you like stay awake or sleep But the gates of dreams are barred to you khwab ka dar band hai 6
