If you take on a text which is somehow appropriate to you and which you may already love, what you want to do is to be as perfectly the slave of it as you can be."--Richard Wilbur Originally inspired by a revelatory Comedie-Francaise production of The Misanthrope in 1948 Paris, Richard Wilbur has made translating Moliere part of his lifework.
