BIBLE TRANSLATION where he describes the agony he went through trying to convey in 
English something straightforwardly written in his native Spanish. Why the agony? Because he 
was aware of all the nuances in the Spanish original that were lost with every English phrase 
he attempted. "The Translator as Traitor?" I believe he entitled his essay.
