American's Don't 'Get' Against the Day?
Bud Parr - Jan 26, 2007
"Perhaps like the ultimate reputation of our poltical leaders, history
will be the judge; students in the not too distant future of a hundred
years from now (time is speeding up, isn't it?) might get a kick out
of the competing reviews the way we can now read about Moby Dick
(contemporaneously characterized as merely "an ill-compounded mixture
of romance and matter of fact."). They'll laugh at those ignorant
American reviewers who didn't get it and say to themselves "boy, that
German guy really got it right." Right?"
