       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.
