U VUUR I EUUDUL from The American Scholar It is remarkable, the character of the pleasure we derive from the best books. They impress us ever with the conviction that one nature wrote and the same reads.

Great literature addresses universal experiences and remains relevant over time. O 3. Modern writers are inspired by the work of writers who lived hundreds of years ago O 4.
