"The primary idea of this issue of The World was to publish any form of translation which read outstandingly, ancient or modern, literal or take-off, correct or erroneous; and secondly to get an idea of how some (primarily) younger poets are meeting other languages these days, and from that to consider how this meeting might affect their own original work." (Ron Padgett from "Editor's Miscellany," p. 106.)
