Página 536 - Shakespeare ! — to such name's sounding, what succeeds Fitly as silence ? Falter forth the spell, — Act follows word, the speaker knows full well, Nor tampers with its magic more than needs. Two names there are : That which the Hebrew reads With his soul only : if from lips it fell, Echo, back thundered by earth, heaven and hell, Would own
Página 355 - Tanto peggio. Indeed, I have written nothing for this last two months : a slight circumstance gave a new train to my ideas, and shattered the fragile edifice when half built.
