Versão definitiva
Poetic morality, the sacrifice of one’s inclinations, is required to undertake a real translation. One translates out of true love for the beautiful and for the literature of the nation. To translate is to produce literature, just as the writing of one’s own work is – and it is more difficult, more rare. In the end all translation is literature.
Novalis
What little I’ve accomplished has been by the most laborious

and uphill work, and I wish now I’d never relaxed or looked back but

said at the end of The Great Gatsby: “I’ve found my line – from now on

this comes first. This is my immediate duty– without this I am nothing”.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
