Show LOUIS ZUCKER #2 have got to feel those chills and those shudders. You have to feel dilated. You have to feel elated and elevated. Literature shows experience, and you have to experience it. 11 Of course, I applied this in teaching the Bible. Those students who say the course was so imp~es-sive to them, so unforgettable, they will say, 11 I remember when you read this or that in the English or in the Hebrew, and how we were all moved." That is the way. You see, I had a professor at the university. I had two professors at the university as an undergraduate. One was the professor who gave the course on the Bible. I did not have the course in the Bible with him, but he wrote a book on this. He was the man who for generations taught the course on the English Bible as literature; Josiah Penniman, Provost, University of Pennsylvania. When he read, nothing sounded like anything. He gave a course in romantic poets first semester. It was a graduate course. This was second semester. The course in Victorian poets, and it was Rossetti. I said to myself, "If I ever teach literature, this is a way not to do it." That is how I learned. That is how you learn. I did not have any course in education. Then the great man I had at Pennsylvania was Professor Schelling, whom I think I told you a thing or two about. Professor Schelling was a very poor read- 74 |
