Show All Ages Poetic For my part, I can call no age absolutely ab-solutely unpoetic; how should it be so since there are always children to whom the aeorns and the swallow's eggs are a wonder, always those hu-nie.n hu-nie.n passions and fatalities through which Garrick as Hamlet in bob wig and knee breeches moved his audience more than some have since done in velvet tunic and plume? ... To he quite fair toward the ages, a little ugliness as well as beauty must b allowed to each of them, n little Itn-. Itn-. licit poetry even to those which echoed loudest with servile, poinpucs and trivial prose. George Kliot. |
