unselfish act

Translation is the most unselfish act in literature, and must be so.

    This is true!

    I have always wondered if they do not have somewhere, a list of those unrecognized translators, those who give so much to language and literature.
    I have tried to Google such a list under several different search criteria, but without luck. Perhaps a list of such names does not exist.

  2. You have given me the idea to compile such a list. Perhaps with help from other members of the NewPoetry List.

    That would be great! I think we need such a list and will look forward to it. If you post criteria for the help you need, I am sure many of us would pitch in.
