mint Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Oh, Norman, I hadn't realised that he was still alive!He was de rigeur in my university days and I'd always admired him from afar as he wrote with such authority on subjects that my feeble mind failed to grasp with any clarity.I thank you for posting this. What a distinguished historian indeed!Edit: forgot to say that, just before reading your post, I was watching University Challenge and thinking of you because one of the questions was about the Second Coming and the students had to quote the lines from the Yeats' poem that you have at the end of your posts!
