sana ne faydası var?

Explanation:
"A day when you cannot pluck a flower-cannot dig a parsnip nor pull a turnip for the frozen ground-what do the thoughts find to live on? What avails you now the fire you stole from heaven? Does not each thought become a vulture to gnaw your vitals?"

'sen' dediğin nedir ki?

Explanation:
WHAT AVAILS STYLE WHEN YOU HAVE; NOTHING TO SAY?

Bu cümleden yola çıktığımda 'stil dediğin nedir ki, söyleyecek bir şeyin yoksa' olarak çeviriyorsam.

''What avails 'style'''yerine ''what avails 'you'' derim ve sen dediğin nedir ki

Sen dediğin nedir biliyor muyum ki? Pek tabi, her şey (yazar : 'Her şey, biliyorum' demiş, ama şiir bağlamında Türkçe'ye çevirirken biraz değiştirmek gerekir belki :))
