Hi Sigi,
I'm curious, what's the burden of optimism?
King Lear & The Wasteland end in two different faiths, I'm thinking--one in human love and the other in religious transcendance--I mean, from how I see it in my armchair. I don't think O could read the wasteland right now. What do you like about King Lear?
