... Richard: for he cancelled the dedication of the poem to Richard, and dedicated it instead to Henry. William Langland, too, the author of the "Vision of Piers Plowman," turned from Richard at the last, and used his deposition as a warning to ill-advised youth. It may be assumed, then, that tradition pictured Richard as a vile creature in whom weakness nourished crime. Shakespeare took his story partly from Holinshed's narrative, and partly either from the old play or from the traditional view of Richard's ...

Whatever the Bible contains of truth, goodness and beauty, we prize as well as its blindest devotees.

It is not the good, but the evil parts of the Bible, that are supported by its supernaturalism. ...
