I remember the astonishment I felt when I first read Shakespeare. I expected to receive a powerful, aesthetic pleasure; but having read, one after the other, works regarded as his best - "King Lear", "Romeo and Juliet", "Hamlet" and "Macbeth" - not only did I feel no delight, but I felt an irresistable repulsion and tedium.
