"Eugène Onéguine, le roman en vers de Pouchkine, est le plus grand livre jamais écrit en russe. Le traduire aura été le travail de ma vie. J'ai voulu en conserver une voix vivante, en demandant à ma mère, Daredjan, qui m'a transmis la langue et le connaît par cœur, de dire le texte russe. Ce n'est pas une lecture d'artiste, (les plus grands acteurs russes ont enregistré 'leur' Onéguine), c'est le témoignage d'une lecture familiale, de la façon dont ce roman, - dont ce poème - peut vivre, au jour le jour, dans le cœur de chaque Russe."

Die Nordsee (1. und 2. Zyklus)... diese Ausgabe kann ich dem überrheinischen Publikum nicht zuschicken, ohne sie mit freundlichsten Grüßen in ehrlichster Prosa zu begleiten. Ich weiß nicht, welches wunderliche Gefühl mich davon abhält, dergleichen Vorworte, wie es bei Gedichtsammlungen üblich ist, in schönen Rhythmen zu versifizieren. Seit einiger Zeit sträubt sich etwas in mir gegen alle gebundene Rede, und wie ich höre, regt sich bei manchen Zeitgenossen eine ähnliche Abneigung. Es will mich bedünken, als sei in schönen Versen allzu viel gelogen worden, und die Wahrheit scheue sich, in metrischen Gewanden zu erscheinen. – Heinrich Heine.

Unzweifelhaft gehören William Shakespeares Sonette mit zu dem Schönsten, was je geschrieben worden ist. 1609 das erste Mal komplett veröffentlicht, ergreifen sie uns bis heute und gehen unter die Haut. Einer der Gründe dafür mag darin liegen, dass es Shakespeare in der an sich sperrigen Form des Sonetts gelingt, sie zur poetischen Ausdrucksform von Gefühlen zu machen, die über die Zeiten hinweg einen wesentlichen Teil unseres Menschseins ausmachen. Die Beziehung zwischen den Menschen in den Sonetten wird von mehr beherrscht als von ihren Gefühlen und Absichten.
