IV. After the Play – The Genius of Antiquity

(Robert Payne)

In his snapdragon verses he described the vanity of the times. Staying late after the play at the Curtain, he had the wit to see that the dark theatre, vast and secret, represented something unfathomably precious. (By Me, William Shakespeare, 1980, p. 75):

¹ In Hebrew Myth, the Holy Name of JHWH is held to be divided into two parts – Male and Female – at dawn of the Seventh Day. It is said to be “the purpose of our world“ to re-unite the Two Parts so that the Holy Name of JHWH will rise in Creation anew. In this context, Flaming Sword is symbol of Cosmic Creative Power whereby “the purpose of our world“ is attained.
