Gasparov on Mandel'shtam's translation of Petrarch's sonnet 301

[Kelly Miller]

Dear Colleagues,

On this question, I referred to the following edition:

Osip Mandel'shtam, Stikhotvorenie, Proza/Sost., vstup. st. i komment. M. L.
Gasparova. M:  OOO "Izd. ACT, Khar'kov:  Folio, 2001.  (Biblioteka poeta)

Gasparov writes in the notes to Mandel'shtam's "Rechka, raspukhshaia ot slez
solenykh," a translation of Petrarch's sonnet No. 301, that one may read
"posle myta" as "posle lin'ki." [ÁÑÝ: Ëèíüêà, ïåðèîäè÷åñêàÿ ñìåíà íàðóæíûõ
ïîêðîâîâ ó æèâîòíûõ...].  See the top of pg. 658.

Hopefully, Gasparov's reading of this word as "molting" will resolve any
lingering doubts.
