French is at the top - obviously not because of the French literature. Maybe because of the French sound?.. In this preference I hear Nietzsche explaining how great Georges Bizet is compared with Wagner...

A surprising 38% goes to the Classics - but I can't think of any other reason why Chinese collects 12%, than the boredom teaching Greek and Latin usually produces and the exotic impression Chinese writing leaves to the Western eye - and these won't reveal a wish capable enough to overcome the various obstacles of learning a language.

If this interpretation is correct, adding French to Chinese we have at least a 39% which is really not interested in learning any language whatever...

Shakespeare acquired more essential history from Plutarch than most men could from the whole British Museum. What is to be insisted upon is that the poet must develop or procure the consciousness of the past and that he should continue to develop this consciousness throughout his career. - T.S.Eliot, Tradition and the individual talent
