Dear Editors, <p>In answer to your web sites challenge concerning the quote widely attributed to Frost, &quot;Poetry is what gets lost in translation,&quot; I couldnt help but send you an answer to this famous maxim I happened to write about two years ago:</p> <p>Correction</p><p>Lost poetry<br />is what translation<br />gets in.</p> <p>I, too, find the quote oddly fearful of a lack of artful commerce between languages (especially concerning the widely available range of excellent translations of poetry into and out of English) and wrote this as a rebuttal.</p> <p>Sincerely,<br />S.C. Garrett</p> 2008-03-08T18:08:49Z 6 2010-03-10T12:48:20Z 872
