First of earthly singers, the sun-loved rill. - George Meredith

Comedy is a game played to throw reflections upon social life, and it deals with human nature in the drawing-room of civilized men and women, where we have no dust of the struggling outer world, no mire, no violent crashes, to make the correctness of the representation convincing.

The song seraphically free
Of taint of personality,
So pure that it salutes the suns
The voice of one for millions,
In whom the millions rejoice
For giving their one spirit voice.

In tragic life, God wot,
No villain need be! Passions spin the plot:
We are betrayed by what is false within.
