Here we have again that unprecedented phenomenon early poets who are archaeologically precise. We have first to suppose that the kernel of the Iliad originated in the Mycenaean age, the age of bronze.
The whole production showed once for all that, unless a dress is archaeologically correct, and artistically appropriate, it always looks unreal, unnatural, and theatrical in the sense of artificial.
A genuine lustre by Boulle will sell at a public auction for three thousand francs; the same thing reproduced by casting may be made for a thousand or twelve hundred; one is archaeologically what a picture by Raphael is in painting, the other is a copy. At what would you value a copy of a Raphael?
"No doubt we can amuse ourselves in the neighborhood of the house until the return of your servant." "Look upon Cragmire Tower as your own, gentlemen!" cried Van Roon.

We sometimes see nowadays "a Shakespearean revival," with scenery studied by eminent artists on the spot, costumes archaeologically accurate, real armour, "properties" from famous collections, a mise-en-scène of lavish splendour and indefatigable research and then we ask, how can "Hamlet" or "Lear" live up to such learning, and why is "Romeo" such a melancholy devil?
