Sir: Wordsworth said it first:
Milton] Thou shouldst be living at this hour:
England hath need of thee; she is a fen
Of stagnant waters.
Yea, Milton, we do indeed need thee, but in Her Majesty's government, not as a compulsory prescription for A-level English in the national curriculum.
Yours unhopefully,
