Excerpt from Shakespeare: A Study
Fore, we argue in contrary terms, without advancing ourselves much in the matter. We seek to submit both to the utter folly of logical processes, and when they elude us, cry out on them; or, it may be, we fail to see what has eluded us, and acclaim our partial vision for the whole matter. Therefore we fail to appreciate that what has eluded us may have been caught by our neighbour, and that what we have caught is what has lied his thought, and that therefore there is comic laughter in the inevitable quarrel that ensues. It is as though two draughtsmen were to limn different aspects of some cathedral, and each, on the virtue of his own design, deny the truth of the other's vision, forgetting that not only is the cathedral in question more than either design, but considerably more than the joint product of both designs.
