O, teach me how I should forget to think.
These our actors, as I foretold you, were all spirits, and are melted into thin air, and, like the baseless fabric of this vision, the cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces, the solemn temples, the great globe itself, yea, all wich it inherit, shall dissolve, and like this insubstantial pageant faded, leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff as dreams are made on; and our little life is rounded by a sleep. -- Prospero til Ferdinand i The Tempest (1611), akt 4 scene 1
Romeo: (...) Here's much to do with hate, but more with love
O, that your frowns would teach my smiles such skill!
O hell! to choose love by another's eyes!

Som følge av at antall bøker for slike lister er begrenset til hundre, har jeg delt opp "The Aristocratic Age" i to bolker. I denne beveger vi oss fra tidlig Italiensk renessanse til den engelske barokken. God fornøyelse!
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.
