...three, unconscious how "the gods made mock at us," sat late into the starlight night, and no one could know that our hearts were not at peace. I can hear the light laughter of more than one happy group of people on that piazza yet; so great a part does commonplace play in this life of ours...
...eyes troubled me a great deal; the eyes of the natives were set exactly parallel, so that the peculiarities of parallel lines were overcome.

And when, as a parting thrust, it playfully insinuates that the Crimson is beyond its depth in speaking of matters Shaksperian, it is guilty of a degree of arrogant vanity which we confess we did not anticipate. There is, indeed, little in the editorial article in question that needs refutation : the New Shakspere Society will not suffer...
