William Alfred Quayle Quotes
But Shakespeare knows what the sphinx thinks, if anybody does. His genius is penetrative as cold midwinter entering every room, and making warmth shiver in ague fits.

He surprises us, seems unnatural to us, but because we have been superficial observers; while genius will disclose those truths to which we are blind.
