Re: Poem in Fynetik Inglix

Patrick Henry?
Are You certain?  I found this poem as a translation
for a Hungarian one written by "Sandor Petofi".

Well, maybe the poems were so similiar he skipped
the actual translation for some cuttin' 'n' pastin'.

I find it a bit upsetting though.  Does anyone else
think this poem is Patrick Henry's "Love and Death"?
