Listen, my love, as long as you share yourself out among several, I am not in the least jealous: I simply see in your lovers the successors of Alexander; they are incapable, the whole lot of them put together, of holding on to an empire where I reigned alone. But that you should give yourself entirely to just one! That there should be another man as happy as I! I shall not tolerate it; do not expect me to.
Bloom skriver om "The Aristocratic Age" (år 1321-1832):
- - - It is a span of five hundred years from Dante's Divine Comedy through Goethe's Faust, Part Two [1321-1832], an era that gives us a huge body of reading in five major literatures: Italian, Spanish, English, French, and German. In this and in the remaining lists, I sometimes do not mention individual works by a canonical master, and in other instances I attempt to call attention to authors and books that I consider canonical but rather neglected. From this list onward, many good writers who are not quite central are omitted.
