Starred Paragraphs are Pythagorean Sentences, or Maxims

[Jorge_Stolfi]

I wonder if it is possible to translate a Greek text into English with the same number of words and letters.

That seems possible, although in a longer sentence the translation may be stilted and forced:

  Μην προσπαθείς να διδάξεις σε έναν χωρικό πόσο καλά ταιριάζει το τυρί με τα αχλάδια.
  Nee condescend to instruct an oman whence much good provolone on pear is he gathers.

All the best, --stolfi
