Rewrite "Richness" in your own words in the form of a prose paragraph. Then in a second paragraph try to articulate what your paragraph left out. What gets lost in translation? What you have done in paraphrasing the poem is remove many of its formal and poetic devices. What do these devices contribute to the meaning of the poem or the experience of the reader? RichnessI have a faithful joyand a joy that is lost.One is like a rose,the other, a thorn.The one that was stolen I have not lost.I have a faithful joy and a joy that is lost.I am as rich with purpleas with sorrow.Ay! How loved is the rose,how loving the thorn!Paired as twin fruit,I have a faithful joyand a joy that is lost.
