Looking for original language texts

[jjhunter]

I'm posting some favorite poems-in-translation this week to the comm poetry, and would love some help tracking down the original language texts to include with the English translations. Does anyone know where I could find the original texts for the following poems? (Links, when included, go to the relevant posts to be edited at poetry.)

• Breyten Breytenbach's "Breyten prays for himself" [Afrikaans]


• Tanikawa Shuntarō's "Sadness" [Japanese]


• Tomas Tranströmer's "Sketch in October" [Swedish]


• Herberto Padilla's "Man on the Edge" [Spanish] - all set! Many thanks to fixdrk


• Yevgeny Yevtushenko's "Hand-Rolled Cigarettes" [Russian]

Thank you so much for tracking this down, and for your excellent notes on translation!

In addition to adding the original text to the post at poetry, would you be comfortable with me quoting your notes with credit and linking back to this thread if anyone would like to discuss this with you further?
