Pace: No translation can ever capture the music of the original poem. Moving verse from one language into another always sacrifices something essential in its sound. Quinn: On the contrary, some translations improve on the original's music. A sufficiently gifted translator can find effects in the receiving language that surpass anything.

- Quinn believes every translation improves on its original.
- They use different standards for judging the musical quality of every original poem.
- Pace denies that sound contributes to a poem's identity.
- At least one of them is mistaken about whether any translation can equal or surpass its original's music.
- Both agree that a sufficiently gifted translator always preserves every essential sound effect in the original poem while adding superior musical effects in the receiving language.
