Dear Mr. Murray,

This is a wonderful story, thank you. I am not sure, however, that Pasternak ever translated Sonnet 30. It seems he only translated 3 - 66,73 and 74. If so, he must have recited someone else's translation, which does not detract from the story but does from the translation, no doubt.

Same here. I also research everywhere. I cannot find even a few lines from Pasternak's supposed translation of #30.
