Re: More Sheli Poetry Translations

Hi, David.  Forgive my lack of attention, here, but what exactly is the
premise?  Are we to translate your Sheli poem (that is a translation from
the Chinese) into English or into our languages?  I had scrolled through the
site you offer, and I see English translations from Taliesin, et al.  And
yet you say that you have one in Fith, one in Mandarin, one in French, so
English is legit?  The idea then is to translate the Sheli.  But having seen
the translations, I'm now "corrupted." :)
