Reading Il 3, Aen 6, Is 47, Rev 21, and The Personal Heresy, which is brilliant. I would love to have out the same argument regarding 20th C. Classical Music! I always wondered if my particular admiration for Herrick's verses were legitimate, and Lewis uses my favorite poem (liquefaction) as one of his first examples.
Whenas in silks my Julia goes,
Then, then, methinks, how sweetly flows
That liquefaction of her clothes.
Next, when I cast mine eyes, and see
That brave vibration each way free;
Oh, how that glittering taketh me!
Yesterday I was teaching English with another teacher, and she attempted to tell the class that "this" was the indirect object in the sentence "George bakes this cake for his mother."
