And I'm sure you've read La Divina Commedia in its orginal Italian, no?
Haven't you gone on your own Renaissance tour, seeing Rome in its Glory, Greece in its History?
Haven't you held the Nowell, the Julian?
Ever been to Lambeth?
The Vatican?
Have you paid your respects at St. Oswald's Church?

That thou depart'st hence safe of my Yankee-ness,
Does pay thy labour richly; go.

While glow the heavens with the last steps of day,
Far, through their rosy depths, dost thou pursue
Thy solitary way?

Both Italy and Greece are not worth visiting, trust me. You'll end up chopping a finger off in anger and with your wallet gone

All of them if you are to be a serious poet;
The bottom half if anything less

I don’t think I am sensitive enough to my feelings to be a decent poet but I like good poetry. I guess there is no harm in checking all of them out.

How many of the non English speaking ones have decent English translations? I like poetry but I’m not at a point in my life where I’m willing to learn a new language in order to read it.

Any Romantic languages have nice ones: German and Dutch is where I’d cut the line
