More to the point, at least for me, is that anyone who's read Henry James (or anything slightly older in general) should be familiar with the meaning. For example, I just read The Aspern Papers. |
You might be surprised, I have college football season tickets at my alma mater and it's not uncommon to hear Beatles songs when I walk past various frat houses. Of course, that begs the question if the frats are actually aware of the lyrics.
At one time, there was a common set of knowledge that any educated person was expected to have, including quite a bit of English Lit. But hey, I studied books in high school that many college students how have never read. Of course, I'm over that certain age _and_ a Beatles fan.
