Hey Jeff; if Kant were rewriting your rendition, would he period yer verse likewise?
Jeff Bursey
Simon, hi. Just saw your question. Thanks for it.
Kant might argue that it was his duty to make my verse or prose more sensible and logical, and correct my vision so that it was morally upright, even though he may not want to carry out those duties, but being Kant it's the doing of unpleasant duties that counts more on this earth and in heaven than doing something pleasurable that may also be a duty. In short, he'd be John Gardnerish as an editor. But it's possible that maybe after being resurrected some centuries after his death he'd be a little more humble and mellow.
