    An enjoyment of Greek poetry is certainly a proper, and not a mercenary, reward for learning Greek; but only those who have reached the stage of enjoying Greek poetry can tell from their own experience that this is so.

    Yet another perfect, and perfectly extended analogy from Lewis … if there were to be a heaven, and I were to go there by good deeds based on my own Christian atheism, this analogy would still hold true, albeit by slightly different means than Lewis intends.
    It most certainly chimes with my own experiences of learning French and, more especially, German. And with the ‘non-mercenary’ rewards of abiding by the recommendations and strategies of my therapists, even when they seemed futile, pointless or dubious.
