Writing Poet Elizabethan

More From Umberto Eco

The revival of hebrew, as a spoken language, is a fascinating story, which i'm afraid i cannot squeeze into a few sentences. but, let me give you a clue. think about elizabethan english, where the entire english language behaved pretty much like molten lava, like a volcano in mid-eruption. modern hebrew has some things in common with elizabethan english. it is being reshaped and it's expanding very rapidly in various directions. this is not to say that every one of us israeli writers is a william shakespeare, but there is a certain similarity to elizabethan english.

One of the surest tests of the superiority or inferiority of a poet is the way in which a poet borrows. immature poets imitate mature poets steal bad poets deface what they take and good poets make it into something better or at least something different. the good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique utterly different than that from which it is torn the bad poet throws it into something which has no cohesion. a good poet will usually borrow from authors remote in time or alien in language or diverse in interest.

Stealing things is everybody's problem. we [apple inc.] own a lot of intellectual property, and we don't like when people steal it. so people are stealing stuff and we're optimists. we believe that 80 percent of the people stealing stuff don't want to be; there's just no legal alternative.
