But...but...but he's a Nobel Prizewinner! He's quoted all over the place! He's practically Ireland's permanent poet laureate! Everyone's senior English class studies him!
Then again, something like half of American high school students can't even recognize the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution when it's read to them. I suppose I'm asking too much.
And calling people "dude" makes me feel ancient! ;)
