I have the hatred of apartheid in my bones; and most of all, I detest the segregation or separation of Language and Literature. I do not care which of them you think White.

What It Means

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "I have the hatred of apartheid in my bones; and most of all, I detest the segregation or separation of Language and Literature. I do not care which of them you think White." in the context of "J. R. R. Tolkien, "Valedictory Address to the University of Oxford" (June 5, 1959), reprinted in Christopher Tolkien (ed.), The Monsters and the Critics (London: Harper Collins, 2006), p. 238. A native of South Africa, Tolkien had been a professor at Oxford since 1925. Earlier in his address he explained his objection to what he considered the "false" separation of "Language" and "Literature" in the study of English." to mean that wisdom is timeless.
