But tell us what you will do with this: <i>Bin gar kine Russin, stamm aus Litauen, echt deutsch.</i> Without Eliot&#039;s eyes, from Eliot&#039;s place and Eliot&#039;s time, it is nearly hopeless. I used to rebel against the idea that literature was universal: it reflects - I would insist - the moment and location of its creation. Eliot, who I don&#039;t much care for, except he turned a good sounding verse here and there, Eliot is pretty good evidence that I had a point.

You also saw how easy it was for principals to get rid of them before the tenure decision even came up. That&#039;s not a better system. Not even close.
