Excerpt from Prometheus Chained
It is like the preparatory rapid of Niagara, which you see not till you feel the whirl. The play goes Ofl', like the great Titan himself, in a flash Of fire, and skilfully compensates to the reader now, as it did once to the auditor, the slow narrative march Of so much of that which has preceded l How inadequately I have fulfilled the task I am only too conscious.
