Comment on Gertrude Stein: “Nothing Elegant” by Mark

This has always been among my favorites from the book. I’ve written on it in my own WordPress web-log. The association you make with the photograph here is provocative & in keeping with the spirit of the book. Here’s what I have to say about “Nothing Elegant,” for it may be worth:

Thanks again,

All I can say is “wow”! The sestina is not an easy form of poetry to write and yet yours flows effortlessly. Inspiring to be sure!

Thanks Jarmeisha. As you can see from the comment thread, others share your view. As a translator (with no facility in French–I chose Millay’s translation because I liked it as a poem), I’m very interested in these reactions–can you specify some places where you feel Millay’s translation has lost Baudelaire’s poem? For example, is it her diction somehow out of date in ways that Baudelaire’s French is not? What does Baudelaire’s work mean to you, and how is Millay not achieving that for you?

Any elaboration you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for visiting and please do return! matt

This translation is not what i got at all. Seems like they added anything that sounded good to go with the meaning of the poem

For me, it was love at first sight with this gem. I had it memorized by lunch. Thanks to my friend Tom Alderson, an extraordinary musician and poet, for pointing me toward the work,
