Only in recent years have I appreciated how familiarity with such material so enriches my experience of other, later literature. To use this example, the title of C.S. Lewis’s Till We Have Faces and its eponymous sentence (paraphrased):

How can we know the gods face to face, till we have faces?

Into a white and soundless place

Now we see things as in a mirror, dimly

Then we shall see each other face to face
