Diagnosing Lear

Anthony Daniels on King Lear. Incipit:

Doctors have been trying to diagnose King Lear for more than two centuries. They haven't succeeded, of course, for a couple of reasons that are not mutually exclusive: first, King Lear does not exist, and second he is not available for tests or examination. The latest technology, no matter how sophisticated, will never settle the matter. No imaging studies for King Lear: he was born much too soon for them, and now will never be diagnosed properly.

A facility for quotation covers the absence of original thought.—Lord Peter Wimsey
