...sanctity of suffering: we feel the weight of the mysteries of this life, and we are made ready for high thoughts. For the office of the Gothic drama is not to give us merely the chiseled image of some heroic man agitated by one mighty passion, but rather to display the forces that are struggling in all men; to overawe us with the ghost of our own past and our own future, so that we may truly say: The world is passing in review...
