>Spending large amounts of time to learn a dead language.

You poor, pretentious faggot.

>>7707075
I dont even think Pound knew Chinese. He had others translate for him, and he took artistic license

>>7707096
Being literate period hurts understanding Pound.

How to understand Pound?

People take liberties with translation though, its true for even modern translations

So what the fuck is dumbass OP's point other than to troll?
