Translated Poetry
#9
I would say I have read all the major classics, Greeks and Latin and I often wondered to myself, why are these classics if they are so dull and boring. Well, they are not dull and boring (how in the hell could the Iliad be boring?) if translated well, are they? If they do not come alive, find another translation.

Oh yes, theĀ  pink panther. If the translation was meant for elementary children I'm sure it is a fine translation.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?

The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
