Alas, I cannot read French to appreciate how you brought the venerable Irish bard into another community of poetry lovers. But I applaud you for carrying the weight a long time (that is, the challenge of getting it right in French) . Being Irish in background, I consider poetry in general as one of ancestral things given to me. For many years I have been haunted by this Yeats passage: Those images that yet, Fresh images beget, That dolphin-tor n, that gong- tor mented sea.
Translating 16 Dead Men into French wasn't such a weight to carry; nor such a feat. ;) But translating Easter 1916 into Arabic and Japanese has brought me though pains. Thanks for your nice comment, Daniel. :)
