Thought  for  Today

 “It’s more difficult to read than Dante in the  original -  even if you don’t  know  Italian!”  

Tom Phillips, 

on Dorothy L, Sayer’s 

translation of Dante, 

BBC Radio 3,  

November 1993

Cute comment: but 

to be fair I need to

know Italian, to have

read Dante in Italian

along with Sayer's

translation.  I probably

won't get to doing this,

but it's a cute comment.

I hope Dorothy didn't

read this.
