‘Well – since in the Bible, God split mankind apart. And I wonder if – if the purpose of translation, then, is to bring mankind back together. If we translate to – I don’t know, bring about that paradise again, on earth, between nations.’
I find this such a beautiful and hopeful thought. One of my Roman Empires. If we all just focused our energy into connecting and trying to understand one another and seeking comfort in the nuances of different groups and in individuals’ lived experiences… perhaps the world would be paradise.
