I can't comment on the Icelandic, obviously, but I hate to say I found the
translation of a standard of banality that boggled what's left of my mind.
I'll certainly look through it again, maybe it caught me at the wrong
moment, and it is late at night here, but ....
As for Great Britain, Britpo, etc, apart from agreeing with those who have
said this is not an appropriate place for a discussion of another list, this
large island is possibly the most complete bourgeoisie society in the world,
it's nonsense to talk of the 'English' in this context, it is a focus for a
nation-free middle class, as for its poetry, it's all but dead, which is why
I'm thinking of quitting it (poetry) forever, it's draining my soul.
