Aaah, lovely! This Poetry Meme is quite the runner and really a discovery.
I love this poem, though I have to confess I read it here for the first time. But I have to agree, the English translation simply seems off, wooden in relation to the original. Like you can't draw or paint certain things with certain tools/colours/material, but only with others, there are always things, styles, feelings you can't really express in one language or the other.
