Text
Letter from Gary Snyder to Herbert Fackler.
"My method of translation is – first, to understand the poem thoroughly on a linguistic level. Second, by an effort of concentration to project the 'picture' of the poem inside my mind, like a movie – to see what's happening. Third, to write down, in my own language, what I see happening. Fourth, to check that back against the original language and be sure they line up."
