I love the violence of "break the back" so hard. But the sweetness of the second translation also appeals to me. I'm guessing it's contextually based, but it does seem odd that they can be SO different.

How ironic that the form is pronounced SHE-go and has "a long, venerable history of successful FEMALE poets." !!!
