The dictionary is what I think SHOULD be the primary source for a
translation, especially if there’s no ambiguity (or “poetry”) intended by
the author.
And if poetry IS the intended use for a word, the word should STILL be
translated as close as possible to the word (NOT an interpretation of its
meaning).
