Translation of Prešeren's verses

[edit]

I think that the translation provided by Grauchek are perfectly fine; however, since there are several English translations of the poem from which the verses are taken (Baptism at the Savica), I would strongly suggest we use one of these translations.

Have it your way, V.S., but the English translations of Krst pri Savici are not very good, nor are they well known enough to warrant using them when they mislead the reader. There is nothing in these lines by Preseren about "life's denial", and there is a big difference between choosing death ("being in the bosom of black earth") over slavery and "denying life"! Also why did you undo my revision "named in his honor after WWII"? To say "named after him after WWII" is clumsy writing because you are using "after" in two different meanings one after the other.

It would be appreciated if you added references for the citation and for the statement that Hribar left such a note. Thanks. --Eleassar my talk 14:44, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Diplomacy

[edit]

He is described as a diplomat at the start, but the word does not occur again later, could someone possibly use it to highlight where his role as a diplomat was? Ranze (talk) 18:31, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
