ReplyDeleteI remember being a teenager and learning about Ginsburg via a They Might Be Giants song... I knew the lyrics were an allusion to some famous poem. I asked my English teacher, but she wasn't particularly helpful (she also was not my favorite English teacher). Fortunately, even in those prehistoric times there was the internet - so, yes, I had to go to the library and look it up. Oh, the paths through history that came with youth.
