It would scare me to have this tremendous responsibility for great works for art. Imagine, it would be in print forever for eternal scrutiny by fellow writers/translators/poets. Just the thought of it, even though I am a great literature lover, deters me. My hat is off to poetry translators. I would, however, really enjoy getting into fiction translation. Great story about the bridge, Paris, and French!
