Destroyed, burned, lost, forgotten, discovered,
rediscovered, but to what do you contribute the lasting
power of the great texts? Is there something great about
Aristotle's Metaphysics? Is Hamlet a great text? Or is it
only thinking like Bloom that makes it so? 

I will reply all of your objections, that is if you care to
have this debate, till the 30th.
