“There is as much difference, said Johnson, between a lettered and unlettered man as between the living and the dead; and in a way, it is no extravagance. Think merely of how one’s view of common things is affected by literary association. What were honey to me if I knew nothing of Hymettus and Hybla?—if my mind had no stores of poetry, no memories of romance.”
