2.0 out of 5 stars pas français in "Classic French Love Poems", January 20, 2000

By A Customer

There are a number of very fine poems by very fine poets in this book. I was hoping this would be a dual-language book, hèlas, everything is in english. I have been learning the french language, and much of french poetry is wonderful, but in english, bien sûr, ce n'est pas la même chose!
