He has a an uncanny ability to see right through his targets and predict ultimate consequence. It's impossible what he does. <BR/><BR/>I was looking for what online texts of his I could find and came across this somewhat easy to translate poem, and thought David would like to know about it.Indeterminacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11112417911577798263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661194.post-1136443901952702452006-01-05T01:51:00.000-05:002006-01-05T01:51:00.000-05:00Thanks for translating the poem for us, Indie.

Happy New Year to everyone!<BR/><BR/>Shtikl: Glad you enjoyed this translation - and at least you can read the original, so that's a consolation - I alway avoid translations when I can understand the original. I've never seen the Mona Lisa, and honestly I am probably something of a Kulturbanause, as there are many other paintings I like better than her.<BR/><BR/>Sar: Don't start spreading rumors! I'm not a poet and I know it.<BR/><BR/>Young at Heart: I'm glad you're back. I saw some of your photos from the Europe-trip. You've been to some places I've been!<BR/><BR/>Tom and Icy: I think when I get tired of blogging and want people to leave I'll start to post poetry. My stuff makes Vogon poetry look good.<BR/><BR/>Mrs. Weirsdo: What a bummer to be sick over the holidays. I'm behind in my correspondence, too, but have using the lax blogging period to catch up. Soon I'll only be six months behind.<BR/><BR/>Cori: I'm serious. Nobody wants to see my poetry. I wrote some insipid love poems when I was in college. Maybe I'll dig some up for you. Then you'll see. My knowledge of poetry and poets is pedestrian and cursory. I know my limitations and I can live with them.<BR/><BR/>Doug: Glad you liked this. I apologize for those awful puns I made at your blog the other day. It won't happen again. My poetry is almost as bad as my puns, if that give you an idea.<BR/><BR/>Viruswitch: I think the Mona Lisa has been overrated. I prefer live smiles.Indeterminacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11112417911577798263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661194.post-1136409647798044112006-01-04T16:20:00.000-05:002006-01-04T16:20:00.000-05:00Hope you had great holidays!

The picture is hanging about 4 meters aboce the ground behind dark brown glass. If you want to have a good look at La Giaconda, buy a poster at the museum store!
