Babel Fish

Was reading an interesting essay on how poetry is used in bilingual education the other day. Got me musing again on bible translators and the work they do.

Further to the last post, for those who are interested in compare and contrast with Babelfish.

Houses in a line, in a line,

In a line there,

Squares, squares, squares,

Even people now have square souls,

Ideas in file, I declare,

And on their shoulders, angles wear.

Just yesterday I shed a tear and it

Oh, God, was square!

It was another evening on the phone with BF. Couldn't help but feel one's tears were too square.
