Our masses do not value rhetorics, metre, or internal rhyme, or I'm sure you'd write with such tools. Shakespeare's work seems ridiculously complicated to us now, but he wrote for the masses, just like you.

Your Faerie, like all of your creations, is a perfectly plausible reality, praised by literary critics, the literate's dollar, and even the behemoth Movie Adaptation. Had I been born before you I would most likely be the one writing clever novels about fallen stars and sly gods. It has nothing to do with your brilliance.
