'The influence of such a mind as Shakespeare's on the lang-
uage in which it expresses itself can only be compared to
the effect of high temperatures on solid matter. As imagin-
ation bodies forth the forms of things unknown, each mole-
cule of suggestiveness contained in each word gains a mys-
terious freedom from its neighbours; the old images move to
and fro distinctly in the listener's fancy, and when the
sound has died away, not merely the shape, but what seemed
to be the very substance of the word has been readjusted.'
