Abstract

The story is often related of a successful preacher who was asked to reveal the secret of delivering a good sermon. “First,” he replied, “I tell them what I’m going to tell them. Then I tell them. Then I tell them what I told them.”

Queen: This is the very coinage of your brain. This bodiless creation ecstasy is very cunning in. Hamlet: Ecstasy? William Shakespeare
