In reviewing Charles Simic’s latest collection for the New York Times‚ Katha Pollitt briefly (and importantly) mentions his work as a translator of Serbo-Croatian poets‚ including Vasko Popa and Ivan Lalic. I adore Popa’s work‚ but am unfamiliar with Lalic’s‚ beyond the poems Simic included in his anthology of Serbian poets‚ The Horse Has Six Legs. Another star from this anthology‚ whose name I don’t often see mentioned (certainly not as frequently as Popa’s) is Aleksandar Ristovic. In his introduction

As humans‚ we often think about power‚ but never think about how lonely you will be with it. The poem Ozymandias‚ written by Percy Shelley‚ is a poem about political power. Shelly uses a mocking tone to describe the desire of achievement of morality while criticizing the arrogance of Ozymandias for wanting dominance and demand praise. The setting is complex in this poem; despite that‚ there is a two people point of view illustrated in the situation. The traveler describes an antique land while Ozymandias

Sir Philip Sydney recognizes this plight. Though he knows it is foolish‚ he can’t help but want; thus his only desire is to kill desire. Stuck with these unsettled feelings‚ the author personifies desire (evident through his use of thou)‚ and uses apostrophe to let it know exactly how he feels about it.

Instead of saying "How is it going?" we say "How’s it going?". Just the use of an apostrophe and a slang word is created. The use of proper words like "shall" and "ought" are replaced with easier words like "will" and "can". Kids nowadays don’t say "I cannot go"‚ they say "I can’t go".
