And remember these last words too. You guys seem to not only be
lacking in tact but also steeped in ignorance. Arthur here, whom you
cheer, seems to show no recognition whatsoever of something as ancient
as language called the "oral tradition". That's exactly what I
described, yet you guys seem to find it incomprehensible. Just how do
you think verse itself was invented in the first place? They needed a
memorable way to transmit knowledge before they had writing, and that
was verse. Large texts were created and transmitted that way, that are
still with us, everywhere, yet you don't get it. And yet you consider
yourselves poets!
This had been a waste of time and politeness for me, you, evidently,
deserved none of it; dwell in your insolence and ignorance.
