Are we not possibly talking here about two or three distinct things? In a sense, we may be said to teach the elements of English at Yale when we begin reading Shak spere with a class of sophomores, or an Anglo Saxon primer with a class of juniors.

Excerpt from Milton's Tercentenary: An Address Delivered Before the Modern Language Club of Yale University on Milton's Three Hundredth BirthdayOf the master. Two things in par ticular, the rhythm and the style, go on Victoriously as by their own momentum.
