Can anyone help me to identify to translator who created what appears
now to be the standard Russian-language version of the following
citation from
Byron’s, “Fare Thee Well”:
"Proshchai, proshchai, i esli--
navsegda, to navsegda proshchai!
This citation is all over the place on the web (with very slight
variations), but the translator does not seem to be identified
anywhere. The passage I cite appears not to match the Ivan Kozlov
translation of the poem. In one online forum, someone tentatively
suggested it is Pasternak's work, but that seems to be incorrect. I
have not been able to find it in the Marshak collections I have
examined, but then maybe I have just not been looking in the correct
edition. Thanks in advance for your help. Emily
