A very wicked thing indeed
“If you approve, headmaster, I will stay as I am here as long as any boy wants to read the classics. I think it would be a very wicked thing indeed to do anything to fit a boy for the modern world.”
“It’s a short-sighted view, Scott-King.”
“There, headmaster, with all respect, I differ from you profoundly. I think it is the most long-sighted view it is possible to take.”
–Evelyn Waugh, Scott-King’s Modern Europe
