"Poetry is what is lost in translation...." - Quote by Robert Frost

“What is required is sight and insight- then you might add one more: excite.”

“Freedom lies in being bold.”

“Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay.”

“Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.”

“See I'm a poet to some, a regular modern day Shakespeare.”

“For this reason poetry is something more philosophical and more worthy of serious attention than history.”

“It is neither the best nor the worst things in a book that defy translation.”

“What Shakespeare was able to do in English he would certainly not have done in French.”

“Translators can be considered as busy matchmakers who praise as extremely desirable a half-veiled beauty. They arouse an irresistible yearning for the original.”
