Excerpt from Sidelights From Shakespeare on the Alcohol Problem

It is true we cannot call these witnesses into any court of law. Did we attempt to detain them they would vanish into air, into thin air, and like the baseless fabric of a vision leave not a rack behind. They are such stuff as dreams are made oi, but they are none the less real for that. Nothing is more real than thought; it remains as strong and vital as ever when the brain that gave it birth has been moldering for centuries in the dust.

In order to secure the testimony of these people we must catch them unawares. We must wait our opportunity and listen to their speech as they talk among themselves of their joys and sorrows, the mingled yarn that forms the warp and woof of life.
