Royal Academy
Tasso's Jerusalem Delivered. Royal Academy (1822). by Robert Seymour.
- "The Christians deterred by the terrors of enchantment,
- from felling timber to construct their machines of annoyance.
- And three succeeding days the boldest warriors, urged by thirst of praise,
- Assayed the dreary wood, but struck with dread,
- Each knight by turns the threat’ning terror fled."
- Assayed the dreary wood, but struck with dread,
- And three succeeding days the boldest warriors, urged by thirst of praise,
- from felling timber to construct their machines of annoyance.

“All hail! the pow’r of Jesus’ Name;
Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the Royal Diadem,
To crown Him Lord of all.”

“I realized early on that the academy and the literary world alike—and I don’t think there really is a distinction between the two—are always dominated by fools, knaves, charlatans and bureaucrats. And that being the case, any human being, male or female, of whatever status, who has a voice of her or his own, is not going to be liked.”
—Harold Bloom (b. 1930)
