Hamlet
English Version [1954]
A brief reminiscence at the outset will serve a twofold purpose. It should reduce to the vanishing point the literary claims of this piece of amateur writing, while adding a note of authenticity to the author’s reasons for putting off publication for almost a lifetime.
narrowing disk that grew dimmer and dimmer
to get out the saddle
daydream
ravings
as I chanced to come across them

are either the causes or the effects of this pervasive melancholy. It alone accounts
to fit both locks
how so exciting a show could ever have been staged about inaction.
In his utter dejection
He indulges in mechanical puns
