we SOLILOQUY OF MACBETI-I BEFORE THE STONE OF SCONE Is this the sacred stone I see before me, Its legends so famed in lore? Ah, let me serve thee. I have thee not, and yet by legal claim thou art mine. Art thou not, O ,Iacob's Stone, the shrine Of Scottish kings forever? or art the Fates all faithless grown, and joy Our destinies to sever? Not thus is it willed. Glamis am I, And Thane 'of Cawdor, too, and shalt be What I'm promised: All hail, Macbeth, thou shalt be king hereafter. I dare do all that may become a mang Who dares do more is none. Stars, hide your fires! Let not light see my black and deep desires. OLIVE LACossE, '28. HER HAFTERWARDSH Wl1at! will those hands ne'er be clean ? Does not the anguish and despair of these words move you? Do you not feel for this fear-crazed creature whose hour of retribution has come? Lady Macbeth, cruel, relentless, ambitious, is seen in the new guise of suffering. And suifering invariably elicits sympathy from hearts not yet calloused. ' Remorse and the constant rehearsing in her mind the dreadful crime in which she was so active an accomplice, has stamped indelible lines upon her face and figure. We see her no more as the cold, haughty woman of Shakespeare's former depictions. As she wrings her hands and mutters her scarce-coherent self-condem- nations, her two listeners stand shocked and dismayed. 'Tis fear and remorse which finally drive her to this. This undaunted woman has been overtaken by a Superior Power. She stands a crazed, broken creature-a fit example of Divine retribution. Mrs. Jameson says, Those who can feel and estimate the magniiicent conception and poetical de- velopment of the character, have overlooked the grand moral lesson it conveys 3 they forget that the crime of Lady Macbeth terriiies us in proportion as we sym- pathize with her, and that this sympathy is in proportion to the degree of pride, passion, and intellect, we may ourselves possess.
