Friend O friend unseen, unborn, unknown, Student of our sweet English tongue, I never indulge in poetics - Unless I am down with rheumatics. - Quintus Ennius
Friend Here is he laid to whom for daring deed, nor friend nor foe could render worthy meed. - Quintus Ennius
Men Let no one weep for me, or celebrate my funeral with mourning; for I still live, as I pass to and fro through the mouths of men. - Quintus Ennius
The heart of the matter seems to me to be the direct interaction between one's making a poem in English and a poem in the language that one understands and values. I don't see how you can do it otherwise. - Robert Fitzgerald
