not quarreled "
Not over and he looked wistfully at
her; this life does not end ALL"
Ah, you have the old romantic faith,
and one would like to share it, but no one

In few hours he went on, Il shall

Arkwr1ght, whom I loved, although we

ShalSespearc's knowledge.


Il is not for a moment to be denied that
ShaSespeare's plays show an extraordinary
wealth Of varied knowledge. The writer
was one of the keenest observers that ever
lived. In the woodland or on the farm, in
the printing shop or the ale house, or up
and down the street, not the smalles: detail
escaped him. Microscopic accuracy, curl
Gus interest In all things, unlimited pow
of assimilating knowledge, are everywhere
shown in the plays. These are some of the
marks of what We call genius, something
that we are far from compromising. but
which experience has shown that books
and universities cannot impart. All the col
leges on earth could not by combined effort
make the kind of man call genius, but
such a man may at any moment he born
into the world, and it is as likely TO be in
3 peasants cottage as anywhere.
There is nothing In which men differ
r:ore widely thar in the capacity for i'm
billing and assimilating knowledge. The
capacity is often exercised uncoascious;y.
was IN the course Of a few weeks of daily
instruction taught TO read, 1t was suddenly
discovered that his four-year-old brother
also could read. Nobody could tell how IL
happened. OF course the younger boy must
have taken keen notice of what the elder
Gre was doing, but the process went on
without attracting attention until the re-
suit appeared.
