- Shakespeare Alive

“In ‘The Celtic Element in Literature’, W.B. Yeats talks about the rituals of the ancient Celts, who waved their hands and murmured and danced ‘until they felt their souls overtopping the moon’, implying boldly that it is possible for humans to combine language and movement for the expansion of personal energy.”
- Shakespeare Set Free, Washington Square Press 1994.
