In addition to a properly semantic analysis of the original English version of the poem and what makes it an absurd text, we wish to show on the basis of this preparatory study how Patrick Hersant addressed the traductological dilemma he was confronted with: indeed, a part of the absurd aspect of the text is based on the homonymy of ''sage'' in English, which can be a plant (sage1) or a wise man (sage2). While they need the first one to make their recipe for stuffing, they find as a substitute a clever man who quietly ejects them from the mountain where he sits. It can be seen as dealing with the threat faced by homosexuals during the Victorian period. Confronted with this difficulty, the translator delivered an interpretation that is very little faithful to the original. As part of a long tradition of loose translation from English to French, Hersant's text offers a new illustration of the concept that any translation should be perceived as another textNamen pričujočega prispevka je pomenoslovna obravnava kratkega poetičnega besedila z naslovom ''The Two Old Bachelors'', ki ga je Edward Lear leta 1877 objavil v svoji zbirki Laughable lyrics, a fourth book of nonsense poems, songs, botany, music, etc. Natanko sto let po izidu je pesem v francoščino prevedel Patrick Hersant (Edward Lear: Nonsense, 1977). V prispevku pred-stavljamo pomenoslovno analizo izvirne različice pesmi v angleščini in ponujamo razmislek o tem, zakaj lahko pesem uvrščamo med literarna dela absurda. Na podlagi pripravljalne študije pokažemo, kako je Hersant razrešil dilemo, s katero se je soočil pri prevajanju Learove pesmi: eden izmed elementov absurda v pesmi namreč temelji na enakozvočju samostalnika sage, ki je angleški izraz za žajbelj, in samostalnika sage, ki v angleščini poimenuje modreca. Osebi v pesmi žajbelj potrebujeta za pripravo nadeva; namesto žajblja najdeta modreca, ta pa ju brez besed prepodi z gore, na kateri sedi. To dejanje lahko razumemo kot simbol nevarnosti, ki je med viktorijansko dobo pretila istospolno usmerjenim osebam. Hersant se je prevajalskega izziva lotil tako, da je ustvaril različico, ki z izvirnikom nima veliko skupnega. Če upoštevamo dolgo tradicijo prostega prevajanja iz angleščine v francoščino, lahko torej na njegov prevod gledamo kot na še en primer dojemanja prevoda kot povsem novega besedilaTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaZnanstvena založba Filozofske fakultete
