I think it's already started. Here's one of my favorites from Alexander Pope, which when you learn it in high school sounds like a humdrum old Sunday school lesson, but as you age and see all of the iniquities of humanity begins to show a resonance that is both stinging and profound:
“Vice is a monster of so frightful mien/
As to be hated needs but to be seen;/
Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face,
/We first endure, then pity, then embrace.”
― Alexander Pope
