“We’re all just playing detective. We’re all looking for signs and symbols to tell a good story. The end result doesn’t matter, though. Only stories. And really, the same goes for that
detective and his crew as they attempt to parse out motive here. Why did someone do these things? What can we prove? Never as much as we want. There is no eternal truth, only what emerges around the clues. The same goes for you and your poetry translation. There is no ideal poem, carved out of stone—there are only constellations that we connect.”
