Quote of the Day

Probably Tillyard found he could accept Jack's statement of the value of poetry: " . . . [A]n utterance, besides entertaining, charming or exciting us for the moment, should have a desirable permanent effect on us if possible - should make us either happier, or wiser, or better . . . The only two question to ask about a poem, in the long run, are, firstly, whether it is interesting, enjoyable, attractive, and, secondly, whether this enjoyment wears well and helps or hinders you towards all the other things you would like to enjoy or do, or be."
