Great literature should do some good to the reader:
must quicken his perception though dull,
and sharpen his discrimination though blunt,
and mellow the rawness of his personal opinions.

A.E. Housman
(Alfred Edward Housman) 1859–1936, English poet and scholar, whose verse exerted a strong influence on later poets. Housman proved to be one of the finest classical scholars of his time. He produced a monumental edition of Manilius (5 vol., 1903–30), edited Juvenal (1905) and Lucan (1926), and wrote valuable classical studies. But it is as a poet that he is best known, although only two small volumes appeared during his lifetime, A Shropshire Lad (1896) and Last Poems (1922).—continue at Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition.
