Christine Walsh Aug 27, 2010:
Are you still on Girondo? Some of his poems are virtually untranslatable, but they have such a wonderful sound to them! //// Sorry for the silly question! Hadn't read the field heading.
James A. Walsh Aug 26, 2010:
Any more context? As in, some more lines from this poem or whatever, to get an idea of the context...? It's very difficult to offer a suggestion without proper context.
