we find in the great poets and dramatists. To be a
truly great historian, a man must have something of
Shakespeare in him.

striving with all his heart to get the better of his
vicious nature. Then one day the holy man told him
he was free to resume his life in the world, that he
need have no more fear of committing murder again.
