speaking of dead poets ... i'm having difficult finding english
translations of poetry by Josef or Petofi.

I was able to order a translation of Radnoti, and its really powerful.
(Also there are four or five poems by Radnoti in a book of Holocaust
poetry that is easy to find.)  I don't have the bibliographic reference
handy, but there is one book of Petofi listed in Books In Print, and I
ordered it, but the publisher didn't have any more.

I haven't started searching libraries yet, but I will eventually.

(I'm in san francisco now.  I could also read french or german.
I do have books by all these I brought back in Hungarian,
but it'll be a long time before i can read them...)

anyway, i welcome pointers & advice.

	thanks,  strick


oh, also i have a bilingual (paralel) book of Babits (sp?) Mihaly,
that seems to be one of a series, but I didn't find others 
in the series.
