The favors of these men. Were they not mine?
Did they not sometimes cry All hail! to me?
So Judas did to Christ; but He, in twelve,
Found truth in all but one; I, in twelve thousand, none.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“Is it the old, legendary monster of my fathers time? Or am I supposed to have whipped one up, as a housewife whips up an omelette?”
