Watch carefully. In forty formidable bosoms we are about to create a climacteric of emotion. In one short speech-or maybe two-I propose to steer your women through excitement, superiority, contempt and anger: we shall have a little drama; just, awful and poetic, spread with uncials and full, as the poet said, of fruit and seriosity. Will they thank me, I wonder?
