One logical solution is to learn every language. Another logical solution is to give up poetry. Another one is to decide that poets who share one's own first language are either the best or simply the only ones worth reading. I applaud your desire to choose the first. Good luck with that (this is possibly the first time I've used that phrase completely untinged with sarcasm). (I appear to have chosen the second myself, mostly... and I'm guessing that a lot of people choose the last by default, without realizing they've made a choice. Then again, there can also be the element of, "you haven't experienced Shakespeare until you've read him in the original Klingon.")
