“In Shakespeare the birds sing, the bushes are clothed with green,
hearts love, souls suffer, the cloud wanders, it is hot, it is cold, night
falls, time passes, forests and multitudes speak, the vast eternal
dream hovers over all. Sap and blood, all forms of the multiple
reality, actions and ideas, man and humanity, the living and the life,
solitudes, cities, religions, diamonds and pearls, dung-hills and
charnelhouses, the ebb and flow of beings, the steps of comers and
goers, all, all are on Shakespeare and in Shakespeare.”
- Victor Hugo
