Writing about Shakespeare promotes a sympathy with extremes. One such extreme is the impressionism of a critic like A. C. Bradley‚ when he tries to hold together‚ synoptically‚ Feste the fool and Shakespeare himself‚ both as actor and magical author.

Francis Bacon (1561-1626) Of Great Place [pic][pic]MEN in great place are thrice servants: servants of the sovereign or state; servants of fame; and servants of business. So as they have no freedom; neither in their persons‚ nor in their actions‚ nor in their times.
