"The Saint"
Antonio Fogazzaro Commentator: William Roscoe Thayer
He calls Hamlet the meditative son of a strong-willed father, and adds, he has slipped on into years of full manhood still a haunter of the university, a student of philosophies, an amateur in art, a ponderer on the things of life and death who has never formed a resolution or executed a deed.
"The Man Shakespeare"
Frank Harris
How he had suffered-he, modern of moderns, dreamer of dreams, and ponderer of problems!
"Dreamers of the Ghetto"
I. Zangwill
