=Shakespeare= (it is true) =wrote perfect historical= 20 =plays on subjects belonging to the preceding centuries,= (but) =they are perfect plays just because there is no care about centuries in them, but a life which all men recognise for the human life of all time; ... a rogue in the fifteenth century being, at heart, what a rogue is in the nineteenth and was in the twelfth; and an honest or a knightly man being, in like manner, very similar to other such at any other time.= Ruskin.
