Harold Bloom is a giant.

@SesquipedalianVim , Bloom is considered 'anti-woman' and 'anti-gay' because he doesn't want literature class to become a place where professor's use literature to teach politics and morals. He's massively hated and slandered, so much that on the first page of Google when searching his name I come across a prominent feminist saying Harold Bloom tried to make a sexual pass at her while she was a student. -- He's an unbeliever that the true believers must eliminate, hence the Times reporters react

Although T.S. Eliot had some miserable theories about literature, I don't think there can be any doubt that much of Bloom's hatred of him stems from the likelihood of Eliot's anit-semitism. While Bloom recognizes the talent of many racists, he seems unlikely to accept a modern one.
I like Bloom as an ambassador for great works of art, but he seems a mediocre writer. I can recall attempting to read "Poems of Our Climate", but its highmindedness was a great insult to Wallace Stevens.

Freedom...
Some things you can’t share...
Some things are confined in you...
To stay forever...
Some things get washed away...
What is left…?
Serenity…
That gives roots, wings....

Why does the interviewer assume an annoyed and even pained expression throughout his interview? That and the shoddy cutting are highly unprofessional, especially coming from the Times. “Aroone”, this is not a venue for your poetry and there is no need to fear copy-right infringement.
