These are the up-to- date scripts for actors on the tourists’ stage.”

    “Firmness yclept in heroes, kings and seamen,
    That is, when they succeed; but greatly blamed
    As obstinacy, both in men and women,
    Whene’er their triumph pales, or star is tamed —
    And ‘twill perplex the casuist in morality
    To fix the due bounds of this dangerous quality.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “Charge once more, then, and be dumb!
    Let the victors, when they come,
    When the forts of folly fall,
    Find thy body by the wall!”
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
