“A thought expressed in a different language may be practically the same thought, but a feeling or emotion expressed in a different language is not the same feeling or emotion. One of the reasons for learning at least one foreign language well is that we acquire a kind of supplementary personality; one of the reasons for not acquire a new language instead of our own is that most of us do not want to become a different person.”
T. S. Eliot
The Social Function of Poetry (1945)
