From Biographia Literaria At school... I enjoyed the inestimable advantage of a very sensible, though at the same time, a very severe master, the Reverend James
Bowyer. He early moulded my taste to the preference of Demosthenes to Cicero, of Homer and Theocritus to Virgil, and again of Virgil to Ovid. He
habituated me to compare Lucretius, (in such extracts as I then read.) Terence, and above all the chaster poems of Catullus, not only with the
Roman poets of the so called, silver and brazen ages, but with even those of the Augustan aera: and on grounds of plain sense and universal logic
to see and assert the superiority of the former in the truth and nativeness both of their thoughts and diction. At the same time that we were
studying the Greek tragic poets, he made us read Shakespeare and Milton as lessons and they were the lessons too, which required most time and
trouble to bring up, so as to escape his censure. I learned from him, that poetry, even that of the loftiest and, seemingly, that of the wildest odes,
had a logic of its own, as severe as that of science; and more difficult, because more subtle, more complex, and dependent on more, and more
fugitive causes
(from Biographia Literaria by Samuel Taylor Coleridge)
