Subject: RE: A Thing of Beauty and a Joy Forever...
I believe that that line by Keats was translated into Russian and then translated back (don't know if a Computer Programme were involved, or just two different translators). Anyway, it re-emerged as "A pretty plaything is always a pleasure". There's the potential for a sort of quiz-game here; try to fake the same kind of thing for other familiar lines.
