“Supposing a tree fell down, Pooh, when we were underneath it?” “Supposing it didn’t,” said Pooh after careful thought. Piglet was comforted by this. — A. A. Milne 💬

@bsag Pooh bear has been a fixture in my life since I was a child (or rather Ole Brumm as I knew him then)

@helgeg They reward re-reading as an adult, not just for comfort but because you find some quite profound things.

@bsag I totally agree. I pull them out of the shelf every now and again. These days I prefer the original rather than the Norwegian translation (although to be fair the translation was excellent).

@bsag I also have a Latin translation I have never read

@cn @helgeg Translation is such an amazing art. Keeping the tone and feel of something must be hard. I think these books would be a really fun way to learn a new language though!
