  Walter Benjamin called translation The Third Language , because a translation is something unique, something set apart, just as bronze forged from copper and tin overcomes the brittleness of copper and the softness of tin to become both hard and pliable, almost becoming a new element. Here, poets from two different languages translate each other.
