This wonderful spectacle is nowhere seen to more advantage than in King Lear. For here we have a central figure too great and awe-inspiring to be lost in the confusion of the scene. Lear's voice, whether in rage, madness or contrition, is so powerful that all the whisperings and wranglings around him seem but its tumultuous echoes.

The result was very satisfactory, and a committee...
