Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rochester Shakespeare Pageant: A Community Drama Exposition Park, Evening of June 7. 8. 9 All over the United States, not to speak of countries across the seas, there is observance of the three hundredth anniversary of the year when Shakespeare laid down his pen - his work completed. It means little to the immortal and world-circling fame of the poet-dramatist that one more city is added to the list of those that pay him homage. But it means much to that city. When a whole community joins together to celebrate the genius of one whose children of fancy have become more widely known, more loved, more honored, more immortal, than even the great among the physical children of men, then is the unseen put above the seen, the spiritual above the material, and the city is become richer in the riches that do not rust or melt away. Behind the children of the dreams, however, is he who dreamed. It is the dreamer himself whom Rochester honors most in its first dramatic Pageant. Most delicately, lovingly, and truthfully has Miss Eager, as Pageant Master, unfolded in the succeeding scenes the personality of Shakespeare. They who would find the key to the Rochester Pageant must observe its depiction, not only of the extent of Shakespeare's fame, but of the developing spirit of Shakespeare, the man - a human being like themselves. He, with his wise smile, would have said, One touch of nature makes the whole world kin, if we can think of him as looking over the gay multitude of our players and spectators. It is the triumph of our Rochester Pageant that, for the moment, it makes us the kin of Shakespeare! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
