By Leigh Hunt

If you want to impress me with your line of argument, try T. S. Eliot....

As if the sanctity of "ordinary people" depended on the "blessed" oracles of poetry....

What is wrong with people nowadays? Are they so entranced by sterile doctrines and lesser poets that they have forgotten how to LIVE??? AS MEN???

The poets can't do your living for you — or for me, NicknamedBob.

It is not poetry that makes special our memories of people and events, or gilds the ordinary luster of a wooden chair.

One would think that a very religious person would appreciate this concept.
