But, after all, the great plays, those that take the deepest hold upon the heart, like HAMLET and KING LEAR, MACBETH and OTHELLO, are not love-plays. Even in novels, love shows at its best when it does not absorb the whole plot. LORNA DOONE is a lovers' story, but there is a blessed minimum of spooning in it, and always enough of working and fighting to keep the air clear and fresh.
Curiosity, which is the only mental play one meets in animals the dog watching, from a wall or window, what is going on in the street. Love-plays, "which differ from the others in that they are not mere exercises, but have in view a real object."
The loveliest of love-plays is after all a child of "his salad days, when he was green in judgment," though assuredly not "cold in blood" a physical condition as difficult to conceive of Shakespeare at any age as of Cleopatra.
