So I'd have to say "some" value was present....

Because you should care about being intelligent, rather than appearing to be intelligent.

Again, why would I care?

No one can make you care about being decent, or intelligent, or a viable member of the community.

I think it's rather pointless, to be honest.

I don't know. I thought I'd see how long I could string you along.

You're the one who doesn't care.

I care only as much as I care. What others think is irrelevant to that.

But you're still responding to me.

I'm not going to. I find this entertaining.

I do as well. It's fun pretending to be an asshole, I'll admit.

But you were asked about it originally. That was my point.

And I was evasive about it at the time. When pressed, I answered more fully.

Because I didn't want to spend an hour pulling out a few dozen books.

I disagree with your claim that there can be no value in translations.
- 09/11/2010 08:51:20 PM

Not "no value", but "different value" is what I would argue
- 09/11/2010 09:55:54 PM

I don't disagree, but you can't possibly learn all languages, yet you can read translations of all.
- 09/11/2010 10:56:58 PM

My choice, hands down, is to ignore the poetry in languages I don't read.

the problem is most good poets are dead and dead people tend to fail at marketing

Now that you mention it, The Imperfect Enjoyment might rank among my favourite poems. *NM*
