Even allowing a generous margin for symbolism, that five hundred a year stands for the power to
contemplate, that a lock on the door means the power to think for oneself, still you may say that the mind
should rise above such things, and that great poets have often been poor men. let me then quote to you
the words of your own professor of literature, who knows better than i do what goes to the making of a
poet. sir arthur quiller-coach writes: "the poor poet has not in these days, nor has had for two hundred
years, a dog's poor child in england has little more hope than had the son of an athenian slave
to be emancipated into that intellectual freedom of which great writings are born." that is it. intellectual
freedom depends upon material things. poetry depends upon intellectual freedom.

awnser: the oxford dictionary of quotations (oup 1970) has 66 pages of quotations

attributed to the writings of william shakespeare in which there are 2369 quotations,

which may reflect well over 5000 speeches, discussions, observations and comments

that are present in shakespeare’s work. it is largely from those speeches and discussions

on shakespeare’s 37 plays, as well as his, and others’ poems, that examples have been

taken here.

in this book all quotations from his poems and plays have been taken from various

editions of the arden shakespeare.

the writer is very much indebted to the rapid response provided by his son, henry

audley-charles , for cries of , guidance, advice and repairs to his ageing pc, that

henry provided at all hours. without this assistance over the last 3 years this book

could not have been written.

in addition, the writer is much for the kind by discussion and proof readings from

elizabeth macbeth and janet hulse; and for his knowledge of shakespeare’s plays and

poems in discussions with monsieur francis saillart; and especially for years of proof

reading, support and with this book from my wife brenda amy cordeiro. above

all, the debt i owe is to professor david price, vice provost research. he has acted as

the editor and the guide for the whole project. this has been far from easy with

changes repeatedly being made by the author and which continued after professor price

had provided all the editorial structure for this project.
