  • William Shakespeare: His Homes and Haunts

    To read the works of a great master of letters, or to study the art of a great painter, without some first-hand knowledge of the country in which each lived and from which each gathered his earliest inspiration, is to court an incomplete impression. It is in the light of a life story and its setting, however slight our knowledge, that creative work tends to assume proper proportions. It is in the ... Read more

Strange and unusual as it is to hear it, it is the most rational cry that the human soul ever uttered. It cannot be disguised, that man is unsatisfied with his present condition. He looks for something higher. He ... Read more
