Whose translation of Rilke's "Eranna an Sappho" begins "O you fierce far-flinging hurler / Like a spear among domestic things / I lay among my kin"? Googling has turned up a few translations but none of them is the right one. I have Mitchell's Selected Poetry of RMR but it doesn't include "Eranna an Sappho". [more inside]

Can anyone produce a translation of Klopstock's poem "Der Frühlingsfeyer"? By "produce a translation" I don't mean your own (unless you want to!), but I also don't mean "tell me it's in European Romantic Poetry", since I can't find a copy of that book around nor can I get one in time (by Wednesday). I mean post one, or email me one (in profile), or the like. This isn't schoolwork, though it is related to schoolwork—you won't be helping me cheat or anything like that. (I found this translation online but am looking for something a little more faithful, if possible.)

A question for the Latinists. I want to translate "that{'s, tastes} good, but have you had it with butter?" into Latin, which I haven't studied in two years (and no composition practice in three). Little help?
