Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Second Person Singular and Other Essays Which had superfluous kings for messengers Not many moons gone by. Antony and Cleopatra. As the kings lag, and then pass away from the stage of the world, many men will ask what there is to regret. Assuredly nothing, if not royalty in the mind of Shakespeare. Mankind will in time probably forget or deny that there was ever anything in the life of the world answering to Shakespeare´s royalty in Perdita, or to his princeliness in Arviragus and Guiderius, or to his kingliness in Lear, or to his glory in Cleopatra. It may be so, as to the world; there may have been nothing thus answerable. But there was Shakespeare. And our regrets in regard to him cover all his regalities - the hidden and hereditary and unconscious, and the conscious and braggart and manifest: Perdita´s dignity among the romps, and her sportive disputes as to Art and Nature among the clowns, her unflushed composure amid the junketings, and also Lear´s loud and indignant death. The splendour of Shakespeare´s veneration for kings is perhaps deeper where the kingliness - the blood of it - is unrevealed, as in the shepherdess of The Winter´s Tale, for here it is matter of Shakespeare´s faith.
