英語の詩を読んでいたのですが、よく分からない文があります。
タイトルのとおりです。 どなたか、ご教授願います。 Richard Eberhartの[The Groundhog]という詩の一部です。 ----------------------------------------------------- Inspecting close his maggots' might And seething cauldron of his being Half with loathing,half with a strange love, Until I had bent down on my knees Praying for joy in the sight of decay. ---------------------------------------------------- 以上の部分が一応自分自身で訳してみたのですが、 文型も何もごちゃごちゃになってしまい、訳せません。 英語の詩は変わった文型（語順）をとるのでしょうか・・・？ 日本の体言止めや倒置、などのような。 どなたか、訳していただけたら幸いです。 お願いいたします。

これはウジ虫がわいた groundhog の屍骸をみつけた作者のリアクションを描写しているものです。 Inspecting close：勿論これを行っているのは作者です his maggots' might And seething cauldron of his being：inspect の目的語になります Half with loathing,half with a strange love：inspect を説明するフレーズです 詩は訳してしまうとオリジナルの言語の持つ語感が失われるので、できるだけ原語で理解した方が納得いく解釈が得られると思います。Cauldron という単語にしても、マクベスに登場する魔女達がかきまわしているような「大釜」を意味する他に、a state of distress and unrest という意味もあります。この詩においては、この二つの意味のどちらかを選ぶのではなく、両方とも groundhog の屍骸の描写に当てはまります。この動物の存在の器であり、生から死に移り変わる distress and unrest の状態でもあるからです。 詩は metaphors, similes が多く、文面に出て来る言葉を訳すだけでは作者の本意は伝わりません。インターネットではシェークスピアから現代の詩人までの作品が読め、解説が紹介されています。その解説、解釈を丸写しするのは「剽窃」となりみつかると厳しく罰せられますが、いくつかそのような記事を読んで参考にされる分には問題ないと思います。

I spoke with Filter frontman Richard Patrick for nearly an hour yesterday on the phone, Patrick discussed everything in his career from his early days in Nine Inch Nails, Filter's hey day in the 90's and early 2000's, his time with STP's DeLeo brothers in the supergroup Army of Anyone, and his return to Filter. Patrick was very candid, discussing the proudest moments of his career and his struggles overcoming addiction a decade ago. He even did an impression of Billy Corgan! ※ 『Filter』『Nine Inch Nails』『Army of Anyone』はバンド名、『Richard Patrick』『Billy Corgan』は人物名です。

After the first German chlorine-gas attacks, Allied troops were supplied with masks of cotton pads soaked in urine; it had been discovered that the ammonia in the pad neutralised the chlorine. The pads were held over the face until the gas dispersed. Other soldiers preferred to use a handkerchief, sock or flannel body-belt, dampened with a sodium-bicarbonate solution and tied across the mouth and nose, until the gas passed. Soldiers found it difficult to fight like this, and attempts were made to develop a better means of protection against gas attacks. By July 1915, soldiers received efficient gas masks and anti-asphyxiation respirators. Private W. Hay of the Royal Scots arrived in Ypres just after the chlorine-gas attack on 22 April 1915: We knew there was something was wrong. We started to march towards Ypres but we couldn't get past on the road with refugees coming down the road. We went along the railway line to Ypres and there were people, civilians and soldiers, lying along the roadside in a terrible state. We heard them say it was gas. We didn't know what the Hell gas was. When we got to Ypres we found a lot of Canadians lying there dead from gas the day before, poor devils, and it was quite a horrible sight for us young men. I was only twenty so it was quite traumatic and I've never forgotten nor ever will forget it. — Private W. Hay of the Royal Scots The French soldiers were naturally taken by surprise. Some got away in time, but many, alas! not understanding the new danger, were not so fortunate, and were overcome by the fumes and died poisoned. Among those who escaped nearly all cough and spit blood, the chlorine-attacking the mucous membrane. The dead were turned black at once. About 15 minutes after letting the gas escape the Germans got out of their trenches. Some of them were sent on in advance, with masks over their heads, to ascertain if the air had become breathable. Having discovered that they could advance, they arrived in large numbers in the area on which the gas had spread itself some minutes before, and took possession of the arms of the dead men. They made no prisoners. Whenever they saw a soldier whom the fumes had not quite killed they snatched away his rifle and advised him to lie down "to die better." — The Daily Chronicle (26 April 1915) Battle of Frezenberg (8–13 May) The Germans moved field artillery forward, placing three army corps opposite the 27th and 28th Divisions on the Frezenberg ridge (50.868°N 2.950°E). The German attack began on 8 May with a bombardment of the 83rd Brigade in trenches on the forward slope of the ridge, but the first and second infantry assaults were repelled by the survivors. However, the third German assault of the morning pushed the defenders back. Although the neighbouring 80th Brigade repulsed the attack, the 84th Brigade was pushed back; this left a 2-mile (3.2 km) gap in the line.
