The quiz I posted yesterday got a few responses, but most people didn't seem to think it fit into our format. I wasn't aware we had a format.

For those who are curious, here are the answers. (You can still scroll down and take the test first.) I'll list them chronologically by author.

Horace - Purple prose

Swift - Sweetness and light

Congreve - Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast

Pope - Namby-pamby

Kant - End in itself

Coleridge - Willing suspension of disbelief

Shelley - Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world

Keats - Negative capability

Carlyle - The dismal science

T. S. Eliot - Objective correlative
