And it almost always get lost in translation, and most translators are midwits who can't get into it anyway. It's Poetry-situation, only that it also happens in prose.

In reality, none of us are true /lit/ unless we learn English, French, German, Russian, Arabic, Hebrew, Latin, Ancient Greek, Sanscrit and Chinese. That's 10 languages to learn. That, or it's filter-city.

Its literally over. Only "polygots" are true lit. We're all frauds....

I speak English, French, learn Latin, not bad in German. I may be halfway there if all the other languages didn’t seem so fucking hard to learn

Muh rhyme muh special meaning thats only possibly through this language. It's horseshit. Ill grant you greek and latin but If you know English it's good enough. Sucks if you're esl

Frogposters will do anything to justify why they can't read. We will in an age of unparalleled literary accessibility. You can find grimoires once known only to the richest esoteric aristocrats scanned on ripped on many websites. You are suffering from a biblical degree of cope. You are justifying your own intrinsic hollowness.

Except..

The sentiment is what matters, not the specific wording. If it's not also good in translation it was never good to begin with
