I think there is a tincture of morality in choosing one's instrument (given that there is choice): the proverbial ineptness of the Brodsky Englished output speaks for itself. It was up to him to choke it at its root; instead, he published. There is morality in controlling the execrable. Much of his English production should have gone through a publisher's printer.
