 Review of Louis Simpson's translation of Villon
Louis Simpson's translation of Villon's two longest poems, The Legacy and The Testament, published by Story Line Press, is symptomatic of this state of poetic malaise.
His irregular, accent-based rhythms, together with the paucity of rhymes in English, render him incapable of achieving the constant, ringing contrast between the anguished voice of the persona and the end-stopped perfectly rhymed stanzas, which is the essence of Villon in the original.
Straitjacketed by his huitains, Simpson is forced into the usual expedient of omitting whatever can't be made to fit his rhyme scheme and dragging in extraneous matter because it does.
