A good play is a play which when acted upon the boards make an audience interested and pleased. A play that fails in this is a bad play.

Memory is the greatest of artists, and effaces from your mind what is unnecessary.

I wish I was dead,And lay deep in the grave.I've a pain in my head,I wish I was dead.In a coffin of lead-With the Wise and the Brave-I wish I was dead,And lay deep in the grave.
