p.s. btw .. fwiw....Given that Transtromer seems to have something of a 'thing' about houses ... in several of the poems here (including MA's set and yours) - well, three of them i guess - and none are translated with the word 'home', only as 'house' .. I meant to note as an aside (since I doubt this was in the poet's intentions but who knows), that in dream and picture analysis (where psychological testing, for example, asks subjects to draw pictures - a particular task being called "House, Tree, Person" - simply asking a subject to draw a picture including those three entities - the interpretation of the drawing tends to view the way the house is depicted as saying something about a 'mother' role in the drawer's life and mind ... This will sound very Freudian but it is an interpretative frame used by psychologists who are not necessarily Freudian - e.g., if a house looms over a tree and person, it can suggest, in this interpretative scheme, a very dominant maternal role (also sounds simplistic but, hey, ... just reporting here ... :-) It could be fruitful to see what might be gleaned from reading his houses with a maternal frame ...
