Translation of poetry should be like a cover-version of a song. I know cover-versions of Dylan songs that I like better than the original. And I know poetry translations of Blake to Norwegian tht I like better than the original too. Anyway - poetry "translation" is best done by a poet.

Skål for Buk's 100th! Here's a mention of it in the socialist paper Klassekampen: The quote from Linda goes thus: "If he was around now I think this suffering world would either kill him, or make him ever stronger. Likely stronger. Yes, stronger." They got the quote here: EasyReaderNews

Fuck it. Lets dance!
