Welcome to this list, Sam.  If your translation of the Ode to Joy reaches
a state in which you wouldn't mind sharing it, I'd appreciate seeing it.
(Some on this list may recall that, much as I admire Schiller, I'm not
particularly fond of this text and may possibly advise you of that.  Please
be assured that my interest in what you translate would be one of pure
curiosity w/ no intention of making any sort of critique!)
