Very roughly, the drama may be called that part of theatrical art which lends itself most readily to intellectual discussion; what... is left is theater. Drama is immensely durable; after a thousand critical disputes, it is still there, undiminished, ready for the next wranglers. Theater is magical and evanescent; examine it closely and it turns into tricks of lighting, or the grace of a particular gesture, or the tone of a voice--and these are not its substance, but the rubbish that is left when magic has departed. Theater is the response, the echo, which drama awakens within us when we see it on the stage.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

There the wicked cease from troubling, and there the weary are at rest. There the prisoners are at ease together; they do not hear... the voice of the taskmaster. The small and the great are there, and the slaves are free from their masters.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Now there was a great wind, so strong that it was splitting mountains and breaking rocks in pieces before the LORD, but the LORD w...as not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a sound of sheer silence. When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. Then there came a voice to him that said, -What are you doing here, Elijah?LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
