When we play the fool, how wide
The theatre expands! beside,
How long the audience sits before us!
How many prompters! what a chorus!

Additional quotes by Walter Savage Landor

There is delight in singing, though none hear
Beside the singer.

Shakespeare is not our poet, but the world's,
Therefore on him no speech! and brief for thee,
Browning! Since Chaucer was alive and hale,
No man hath walked along our roads with step
So active, so inquiring eye, or tongue
So varied in discourse.

Rose Aylmer, whom these wakeful eyes
May weep, but never see,
A night of memories and of sighs
I consecrate to thee.

When we play the fool, how wide The theatre expands! beside, How long the audience sits before us! How many prompters! what a chorus! - Walter Savage Landor
