As long as we're on this subject, I'd like to ask the list's German
speakers to vet a few lines of a translation of mine.
In a 19th-c. oratorio text, the poetry at one point says (of the poet's
soul):
Wenn sie im Staube sich vergisst, / So trag' sie mit Geduld.
Which I have rendered as:
Even when it lies forgetful in the dust, / Still it abides in patience.
--but this doesn't quite feel right to me. Have I gone astray somehow,
or is this basically correct?
