| Chris Hu said: You really can't say that English is not very poetic when some of the most famous poems and poets are in English and where written by people that had English as their native tounge. |
"Famous" does not equal "best". They're only famous to us because we're primarily English speaking, which, as I said before, is a lousy excuse for liking it. If this world were primarily French speaking, for example, you can bet we'd know Molière better than Shakespeare. Even if you could justify the idea that poems in English are better (which, in my limited, but somewhat significant experience, they certainly aren't), that could still just be because of English's widespread-ness and not because the language is inherently beautiful in some way.
