About Plays.

Plays are not written-they are rewritten.
In this lies the advantage of the creative, as
distinct from the critical literature of the stage
The dramatic author writes at leisure-and re-
grets in haste. The dramatic critic writes in
haste and regrets at leisure-a leisure so lengthy
that his repentance rarely appears.
This declaration of the unpretentious toilsome
ness essential to good work in the dramatic field
is sure to shock and outrage that coterie of
lists CD who regard study and endeavor evil
dences of the absence of genius.
