Now I have found the Bly translation
http://wisdomportal.com/RobertBly/Bly-TheThousands.html

and it has several good qualities not in the Fulton one.

I can pretty well guess the Swedish but I am quite curious to read the original.

It might be (rather than "Det enda som") Allt som jag vill.

Tranströmer is a marvellous poet. I do have much by him, but not that particular volume "Sorgegondolen (1996)" (The Sad Gondola). He deserves the Nobel, but I doubt they will give it to a Swede. He has numerous prestigious awards. Since his stroke in 1990 he has not been able to talk.

More about him here. http://www.tomastranstromer.com/contents.htm
