According to certain mad-doctors, suicide is in some temperaments the closing phase of mental aberration; and since his arrest Lucien had been possessed by that single idea. Esther's letter, read and reread many times, increased the vehemence of his desire to die by reminding him of the catastrophe of Romeo dying to be with Juliet. This is what he wrote: "This is my Last Will and Testament.
She leaned her arms upon it, her eyes fixed upon the throbbing moonlit sky, her white brocaded dress glistening here and there in the pale light a vision of perfect beauty. And when she began her sighing appeal "O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?" it seemed to me as if the night the passionate Italian night had found its voice the only voice which fitted it.
Dorothy promised, and soon, with the groom riding behind them, they were off over the road. Romeo was as delighted as they, and sped along as if shod with wings, his mane and tail floating gracefully as he almost flew along. Dorothy and Nancy, nestled in a white fur robe, felt only the frosty touch of the sharp wind upon their cheeks, and they laughed and talked as if it had been a summer day.
Such minds, crusted like Plato's Glaucus with the world, are yet pervious to appeals to the spirit that survives beneath the dry dust amid which they move; but only at rare intervals can they accompany the pure lyrist "singing as if he would never be old," and they are apt to turn with some impatience even from Romeo and Juliet to Hamlet and Macbeth.

Sir John Falstaff, who appears in Shakspere's King Henry IV, and again in the Merry Wives of Windsor, is generally regarded as the greatest comic character in literature.... Mercutio, the friend of Romeo; one of the most marvellous of all Shakspere's gentlemen.
It is because our young men and maidens will not hearken to these penny-wise apophthegms of shallow sophistry because they often prefer Romeo and Juliet to the 'Whole Duty of Man, and a beautiful face to a round balance at Coutts's that we still preserve some vitality and some individual features, in spite of our grinding and crushing civilisation. The men who marry balances, as Mr.
On the night fixed for his appearance the house was crowded to suffocation. The playbills had given out that "an amateur of fashion" would for that night only perform in the character of Romeo; besides, it was generally whispered that the rehearsals gave indication of comedy rather than tragedy, and that his readings were of a perfectly novel character.
