"You can't argue with someone who believes, or just passionately suspects, that the poet's function is not to write what he must write but, rather, to write what he would write if his life depended on his taking responsibility for writing what he must in a style designed to shut out as few of his old librarians as humanly possible."

Just my opinion that Seymour's poems would be in english. I assume, yes, that all of Seymour's old librarians would be least shut out by a poem if it were written in english. Fat French Ladies? OH yeah...
