Longinus
-the authentic aim that literature must be judged is whether or not it reaches suplime (nearest can be expressed in term….but is cannot be expressed because it is incredibly beyond anything else-like what we’d talk about anagoges in Frye.) It is possible you to exult in expression of language and control of metaphor.
-True writer: Homer and Poet Sophoe(?) because they have an elevation in certain moment with the memory grasps onto and just stays there, never go away. (like flash of lightening)
