I wish the editor would stop trying to convince me that phrases like "women are the most volkish of the volk" are proto-feminist.

His argument for the human as opposed to divine origin of language was very nice. His portrait of language's childhood in terms of poetry, song, and painting was less compelling: combine a worship of the artistic "genius" of the Greeks, Home in particular, with extremely suspect anthropology/orientalism: eg. Chinese civilization never changes, so its tone inflections reflect the sing-song quality of early language?!
