- Description
- I want to start at what may seem an unfair distance from the kind of view Colin Gardner has put forward. Early in 1947 the date is signifi-cant-a group of science students at Cambridge asked that some lec-tures on English Literature be organised for their special benefit. TR Henn responded and versions of his lectures were later published as The Apple and the Spectroscope (1951). In the book, Henn records the reaction of one of his students to Macbeth's speech at 1.7. 16-25: Be-sides, this Duncan Hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been So clear in his great office, that his virtues Will plead like angels, trumpet-tongu'd against The deep damnation of his taking off; And pity, like a naked new-born babe, Striding the blast, or heaven's cherubin, hors'd U pan the sightless couriers of the air, Shall blow the horrid deed in every eye, That tears shall drown the wind.
