The nnr Aner.

It is a strange omission that the day after, supreme and epoch making period of time. should have failed to receive the homage which is its just prerogadye.
 De Quincey. in his powerful bit of word painting entitled '-The Knocking at the Gate," dwells on the thought that in Macbeth" the climax of the tragedy. the moment most truly fraught with terror, is not the one in which occurs the murder Of Duncan. or when the guilty pair nerve them selves for its accomplishment but the moment when the first knocking at the gate ls heard. With that summons from without comes an instant and terrible realization of what has taken place. In that moment of horror is condensed an the meaning of past crime and future retribution as in a lightning flash.
 The magnitude of what has happened cannot be measured until the drst touch Of reaction has been felt We cannot tell what has really occurred dll the day after.-Atlantic.
