what is the most
"frenchable" is the less
translatable
maybe because when one
translates a phrase
one cannot translate the context

Language is a barrier to its own beauty but something always gets lost in its translation. At least, I think so.

Interesting text as always.

Agreed. Poetry only can live in the language in which it was composed. When it is translated, it dies.

Sadly yes, to the detriment of all poets.
