  2. I have often wondered how much is lost in poetry when it is translated.

    1. The risk exists. Sometimes I can judge by comparing original and translation, but mostly I have to rely on the translator's quality.
      Very seldom have I been disappointed. The more thankful I am that I am enabled to read good literature that I could not enjoy in the original.
