Shakespeare fortunately was guiltless of any exact knowledge of Aristotle, and the fact that Corneille and Racine, who had no French Shakespeare to precede them, were in bondage to that influential philosopher, had a lasting effect upon French literature which the mighty influence of Hugo was insufficient to destroy.
Human nature despises long arguments which come to nothing heavy speeches which precede no motion abstract disquisitions which leave visible things where they were.
