Never stop digging out these snippets. They're always interesting even if they don't prompt a discussion, or even a reply. They're always a good read.
This one is excellent, a spat between to poets nearly 200 years ago. It really doesn't matter now, except it does. It shows us that humanity doesn't change much and people can take big risks in trying to triumph in an essentially trivial argument where there are no winners. Refreshing, too, to see a bit of Marxist literary analysis. I didn't think anyone still did that.
Some great turns of phrase in there. Who wouldn't aspire to be the Paganini of snark.
Keep up the good work.
(... That's quite enough sucking up to the management, thank you ...)
