"There are two conclusions, at opposite ends of a spectrum,
that can be drawn from this. The first is that the elitist

works which make them resonate down through the ages. The
second is that the common people are simply clueless as to
what amounts to a good book. This roughly equates to the
bourgeoisie regret that the unwashed masses were ever taught
how to read."
And I don't find it contradictory in the least to think that
both conclusions are usually right, in varying degrees, and
at exactly the same time, in the same instances.
All the Best-
