We can wink at his little knack of splitting infinitives and misusing words; we can smile tolerantly when he tells us that Edmund Burke was a Democrat and "A Vindication of Natural Society" the most sincere expression of his political philosophy; we can, with an effort, keep our gorge down when he says he can never forget a certain line in "Kubla Khan" and proceeds to mangle its beauty...
