ECCO Press, 1997 excerpt from: TO REITERATE original text:
To write is to travel, to write is to read,
to read is to write, and to read is to travel. George Steiner says that to translate is also
to read, and to translate is to write, as to
write is to translate and to read is to translate. To translate a travel writing, for example, is to
read a travel writing, to write a travel writing,
to read a writing, to write a writing, and to travel.
