Quotations:
Nancy Dargel told CA: "I write because I wish to share with other people the things I have seen and loved, frequently, too, the feeling of a meaning of which one is aware but which one cannot grasp, and finally the hope that this recording over time may be of some use to someone."
"My translations can only be spontaneous: echoes of someone else’s music coming to me through the sounds of another tongue. The poetry I translate and write myself is oral, for the ear, rather than the eye."
Nancy Dargel married Felix Dargel (an art critic; deceased). They have two children: Arthur, Anne Dargel Curtis.
