>tfw trying to improve my English prose but I keep reading translations, such as Zola's The Masterpiece and Sappho's fragments

FUCK

WHY THE FUCK CAN'T I JUST READ ENGLISH SHIT

I am going to reveal something to you OP. It is a little fragment of wisdom grown over a long period of time. I have fed it well, it is healthy and stable. In dealing with such matters as improving one's English prose, or knowledge of English prose, this little fragment has proven its worth. Prepare yourself, you need to be in the correct frame of mind to receive it. Are you ready? Okay.

Read more English Prose. You can now delete the thread and leave your computer. Happy to help, there is no need to thank me.
