Tarn translated this poem in the early 70s because it was a work so close to his own feelings he sensed he might have written the poem.

Nathaniel Tarn was born in 1928 in Paris of British-Lithuanian and French-Rumanian parents, educated in France, Belgium and England; he came to the United States in 1970, having been enchanted by Apollinaire, the Surrealists, Claude Levi-Straus and, oddly, by the Pilgrims and American literature.
