Rilke: The Translations
Thursday, 7 May 2015
Translation of Die Aufzeichnungen des Malte Laurids Brigge
I covered the book in mushroom spores.
The mushrooms became the translation.
Translation of Duineser Elegien
I covered the book in fat and sugar. Mould grew.
The mould is the translation.
Translation of Briefe an einen jungen Dichter
I shredded the book and boiled it.
Then I strained it into a pint glass and drank it.
Half an hour later I urinated into a bottle. The piss is the translation.
