A piece I wrote on one of the most fascinating and incredible thriftstore finds I've ever stumbled upon.
The Edwardians and Victorians were not like us, they believed in a nobility of their political class that's almost impossible to understand or relate to, and that believe, that attribution of nobility is tied up with something even more mysterious: their belief in the fundamental nobility of rhetoric.
Still not sure entirely how I feel about this, or how sure I am of my conclusions but this has had me spellbound in fascination and so I wrote about it.

Notes -
I'm flattered that you initially responded with a brief insult, thought better of it and blocked me, then couldn't stop thinking about me for two days so you unblocked me and came back with this long insult.
Perhaps one day you will learn that brevity is the soul of wit.
It is doubtful that a reader would learn that "censure" had the additional meaning of "to judge" from reading this.
And modern audiences won't pick up on this because they only know one meaning.
Agree to disagree that the words Shakespeare chose have no significance.
The OP has already been banned (and apparently deleted all his posts). There is no need to continue this interpersonal bickering.
Fwiw, the post was still up when I responded, and I didn't see that he had been banned.
