and can with wine dispense; Whose head proud
fancy never taught to steer, Beyond the muddy ecstasies
of beer.

The awe and dread with which the untutored savage contemplates his mother-in-law are amongst the most familiar facts of anthropology .
james frazer— Chapter 18, The Perils of the Soul
Lo! the poor Indian, whose untutored mind Sees God in clouds, or hears him in the wind; His soul proud Science never taught to stray Far as the solar walk, or milky way; Yet simple Nature to his hope has giv'n, Behind the cloud-topped hill, an humbler heav'n.
Alexander Pope— 1733 An Essay on Man, epistle1, l.99-104.
It is a great mistake to think any thing too profound or rich for a popular audience. No train of thought is too deep, or subtle, or grand but the manner of presenting it to their untutored minds should be peculiar. It should be presented in anecdote, or sparkling truism, or telling illustration, or stinging epithet; always in some concrete form, never in a logical, abstract, syllogistic shape.
— Rufus Choate, p. 482. (Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895))
