Poems Are Difficult To Silence.

It Is Not That Shakespeare's Art Is In Technicolor And Fancy, And That Real Life Is Black And White And Tedious. The Life That Shakespeare Was Living Was The Only Life He Had, And He Had To Use It To Create What He Was Doing.

But If Shakespeare Himself Is Maybe About Meaning And Truth, I Don't Know, Then He Is Certainly About Pleasure And Interest, We Start With Pleasure And Interest, But Maybe Eventually It Gets To Meaning And Truth.

Writing Is A Performance, Like Singing An Aria Or Dancing A Jig

I Think The Writing Of Literature Should Give Pleasure. What Else Should It Be About? It Is Not Nuclear Physics. It Actually Has To Give Pleasure Or It Is Worth Nothing.

First Of All, Shakespeare Is About Pleasure And Interest. He Was From The First Moment He Actually Wrote Something For The Stage, And He Remains So.
