of the language it was written in. To make a relative assessment
of the world's great poetry, therefore, you would need to know
all of the world's languages.

read poetry in and appreciate the literary evolution of? I
suspect the answer is zero. So you are making claims about the
relative quality of aesthetic experiences without having had
those aesthetic experiences.

One thing I find annoying is that classical liberals will
characterize the detractor's comments as "relativist". Yet to be
relativist one would have to deny the existence of absolute
standards in poetry and claim that there is no way to make
qualitative assessments, but the detractor is clearly not doing
this.

You are correct. The detractor explicitly provides a way to make
qualitative assessments (learn every language in which poetry
exists), and is merely pointing out (accurately) that Duchesne
is not doing it this way. A true relativist would say that even
if you learn every language, you can never be sure that your
understanding of every language is exactly equal in depth, thus
can never be sure whether your assessment that one poetry is
better than another is due to an inequality in your
understanding of the two languages involved as opposed to due to
an inequality in the poetries themselves.
