Religious apologists are forever reminding us that we must interpret both the lives and the works of their prophets and recorders in the spirit and meaning of the ages in which they lived.
His scene with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern and the recorders is masterly: the silken sternness of it, the fine hauteur, the half-appeal as of lost ideals still pleading with the vulgarity of life, the fierce humour of its disillusion, and behind, as always, the heartbreak that side of which comes of the recognition of what it is to be a gentleman in such a world.
One might be an accident; two might possibly be a coincidence...." His voice died away. What might that coincidence mean? "But at three it would get to be a habit," the captain finished the thought.

"Right of way, Norma?"
No one who knows the real China can deny that. The Continental arrangement of the Members' desks and the raised tribune of the Speaker, with its rows of clerks and recorders, make an impression of orderliness, tinged nevertheless with a faint revolutionary flavour.
Another result is that, while strange gleams of Esotericism shine through, as in that about the Four Recorders of the Four Cardinal Points, things that it seemed undangerous to the monks, because they did not understand their significance, to let pass, we hear nothing in Irish literature about the philosophy of the Druids.
