Death poses a problem which replaces all the others. What is deadlier to philosophy, to the naive belief in the hierarchy of perplexities?
Philosophy offers an antidote to melancholy. And many still believe in the depth of philosophy!
The Truth? It is in Shakespeare; -- a philosopher cannot appropriate it without exploding along with his system.
I especially like that last one. That Truth he speaks of is hard to describe, but I believe it is where he says it is. You can only say "it's in Shakespeare." Somewhere in Hamlet, somewhere in Lear.
