While Mitchell’s translations are looser and more creatively liberal, Snow’s have an interest in direct syntactical facsimile; with a more direct approach to the formulation of Rilke’s images. In “Going Blind,” a poem from “New Poems,” Rilke describes observing a woman who is ostensibly doing just that. The poem ends with a paradigmatic Rilke image—in observing her impediments, he suddenly perceives a flash of transcendent elegance. Mitchell writes, “and yet: as though, once...
...Prime Minister Kevin Rudd snuffed out the Pacific Solution in 2007. This year, more than 1,700 people have arrived by boat to Australia, compared to 161 last year.

But Harvard came back stronger in the second half, letting in just a single shot thanks to defensive adjustments and a change in attitude. “[In the second half] we stepped up and played a little looser and were able to go after it better,” said Crimson head coach Sue Caples. The Huskies (8-0, 1-0 Big East) were led by four-time Big East Offensive Player of the Week Loren Sherer, who netted her 12th and 13th goals of the season in the first...
