Falen's Boris Godunov

[Inna Caron]

On the wings of Catherine O'Neil's message, I have just received the text of
James Falen's translation, and discovered, to my great surprise, that it was
not rhymed. In fact, it seems to omit feminine endings in some instances,
which somewhat affects the musicality of Pushkin's (and most other Golden
Age poets', for that matter) use of iambic tetrameter.

I know it will take me some time to get around to ordering the copy of
"Pushkin Review" where said forum may very well address the above
peculiarity. In the meantime I am turning to the collective wisdom and
knowledge of the List: I am sure JF had a good reason. But what was it?

Thanks in advance for any information or speculation in lieu of the latter!
