...recollection of what Socrates said about the value of a gad-fly in stirring up the Athenians, I have turned to the Century Dictionary for a description of the-beast. I find that it is "very active, voracious, blood-thirsty, with great powers of biting. The bite is deep and painful, often drawing blood, though not poisonous...

After leaving the university Milton spent five years at his father's estate at Wharton, which, Professor Lowes brought out, were of great importance in shaping his character, because he devoted them entirely to reading the classics and to deep meditation. "In 'L'Allegro' and 'II Penseroso', which Milton wrote at this time", the speaker continued, "we see the poet's reaction to the beautiful scenery around him, and the evidences of his lyrical genius.

...going to get nowhere. The difficulty with the "Eldest Son" from the average American view-point perhaps explains why the presentation at the Copley is the "first performance in this country". It is difficult to convince an American audience of the reality of a problem in which deep-rooted and time-rotted caste distinctions loom to such large proportions.
