I agree with Jhon Baker - good writing exercise, but not a formula for good writing.<br /><br />Stafford - another "translation" might be "To exist, or not to exist. I ask myself that question." Hard to know which of our translations is better shite!

Shite poetry.<br />BUT, how many times have you been offered an opinion in the form of a proven fact, as in 'Arsenal has the best players'?<br />We need a fact/opinion language rule to filter this nonsense.
