Why Young Men Should Study Shakespeare

Excerpt from Why Young Men Should Study Shakespeare

The art of composition is to see clearly and to see whole. Whatever be the theme, if the writer or speaker has first individualized it, his words will be clear and apt; if he has then viewed it in its relations, whether these be the relations of similarity or contrast, of mere analogy or illustration, his treatment will be vital and impressive. In these two respects, the ability to see clearly and to see whole, Shakespeare is as yet un rivaled.
