The Juliets I have seen on the stage fail here. They do not bend my knees in that adoration which is inspired by the sea and stars. The love of Romeo for Juliet and of Juliet for Romeo does not stimulate passion, but rather controls it. I never become hot in reading the play. What a solemnity there is in its movement! The lovers are not merely two human beings with no other meaning.
I saw several of the ladies eyeing my toilette, and having painfully sharp ears I heard some of their remarks: "Do look at Miss Tennant! She is in her night-gown!" "I suppose it is meant to be 'ye olde Englishe pictury! I wonder she has not let her hair down like the Juliets at the Oakham balls!"
