At the mid-point of the path through life

E' uscita una nuova traduzione di Dante. Ma... mi lascia piuttosto perplessa. 

At the mid-point of the path through life,
I found
Myself lost in a wood so dark, the way
Ahead was blotted out. The keening
sound
I still make shows how hard it is to say
How harsh and bitter that place felt to
me. . . .

Il  traduttore è Clive James, un poeta australiano. La casa editrice Liveright Publishing. nytbr.
