...result of the combination of tire, water, earth and air This theory held during the Middle Ages and was the inspiration of the Alchemists who thought that, since all the metals were composed of these four elements and no others, it would be possible to convert the baser metals into the precious ones by a simple change. The decomposition of water by Lavasier, of course, broke up this theory, since one of the supposed elements was compound, and not an element in itself. Very soon after this we have the Daultorian theory of atoms which is our modern chemical theory...

...later period Shakspere was drawn away from the beautiful boy by a new passion which roused the baser part of his nature. Conscious of his own degradation, he realized that, to attain a true immortality, life must be identified with conditions superior to mortality. Of the various kinds of immortality mentioned by the poet only the one which he thought most doubtful, namely his own reputation, still endures. We have no evidence that his friend had a son, and the sonnets have not preserved for us his name or even his appearance. The words "Time will come and take...
