I've made up my mind:

1 Catullus
2 du Bellay
3 Borges

Thank you, translators, and thanks again, DG007!

Sorry not to have participated more. I'm shockingly inept in every language but English, so I find it hard to judge, but I liked these best as poems.

Hi Mary,

You illustrate my point. Now maybe you had obligations as are you a busy person. However, I would never want you not to feel welcome to the table for the reasons I point out in my previous post.

Next time feel free to join in if you have the time. We need informed readers and writers of English who read no other language, as well as polyglots and bi-glots and tri-glots and what all! How about, for instance, we use your scientific rigor to detect nonsense or even abject failure in a translation?

Cheers,

Don
