Show Grundy on Shaw. Sydney Grundy has written a little pamphlet in which he has gone for Mr. Bernard Shaw with a hatchet. He says: "Mr. Shaw is a spent force a closed chapter a tale that is told a back number a lost chord a fired rocket an exploded mine an extinct volcano, vomiting only ashes and dust. Mr. Shaw is done. His star is on the wane; his candle only gutters in its socket; his beauty is passe, his wheezes are chestnuts, his sleights of hand transparent, his humors rheum. He is running a race with time, and gave himself twenty years' start, and time is beating him to a frazzle." |
