by DONALD DAVIE
Professor Davie examines in turn the extreme positions of Dr. Johnson (that, roughly, poetry is what survives all translation) and of Robert Frost (that ' poetry is what gets left out in translation '). His thoughts are partly prompted by George Steiner 's anthology The Penguin Book of Modem Verse in Translation and by the recent festival ' Poetry International '67.*
