AB The present study performs an analysis of the translation of metaphors in Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass, arguably one of his most important works, and representative of his main themes: love, friendship or sexuality; the divinity of man, democracy, nature; or the community of the human race. Specifically, the analysis focuses on the poem “Song of Myself” and the handling of figurative language by two Spanish-language translators: Eduardo Moga and Jorge Luis Borges. Both successfully attempt to convey the full impact of Whitman’s striking metaphors, yet each does so according to his distinctive poetics (in turn shaped by literary influences and personal circumstances) and his views on literary translation. Our graduation project tries to qualify their similarities and differences as regards the translation of Whitman’s metaphors and metaphor-related figures of speech.
