June 23, 1917 : TENET ATES Has Created Most” Alexandre Dumas In Shakespeare’s character creations the history of the human race is written forever. There is no phase of human nature not found in his plays. Through the magic of a verbal alchemy that kindled every thought into a picture, and clothed the emotions of his characters in visible images, kings, nobles, sages, picturesque reprobates like Falstaff, scheming villains like Iago, high-born dames, lovers in whose bosoms the little god seemed ever to keep a fiery vigil, become creatures of flesh and blood. His historical characters are stamped with the very spirit of the age in which they lived and are breathing realities. We meet the great leaders— Julius Cesar, Brutus, Mark Antony, Henry IV, Richard III, the Knights of the White and the Red Rose—we hear the clatter of swords, and the laughter of beautiful and clever young women. The East in its Oriental sensuousness, Greece, Rome, France and England lighted by the last rays of setting chivalry gleam from his pages. WHAT DOES HE MEAN TO YOU? Does the influence which Shakespeare has exerted on mankind through three centuries mean anything to you? Are you reading him for daily In- spiration, for the development of Imagination, which the great Napoleon declared rules the world, for command of Language and Expression, which Shakespeare possessed more than any man ever born on this planet?
