Leo Tolstoy on King Lear

...simple words, might elicit sympathy, but amidst the incessant, pompous raving it escapes one and loses its significance. The hovel into which Lear is led, turns out to be the same which Edgar has entered, disguised as a madman, _i.e._, naked.

Sam Selvon, The Lonely Londoners

...simple and reflective tone of the narrator’s rueful observation – ‘It have men like that in the world, too’ (p. 52) – concludes this section with what Ramchand calls ‘acceptance and a quiet awe’ (1985, p. 11).
