407. Cf. Webster, The White Devil, v. vi:     

 “. . . they’ll remarry Ere the worm pierce your winding-sheet, ere the spider Make a thin curtain for your epitaphs.” 

       411. Cf. Inferno, xxxiii. 46:     

 “ed io sentii chiavar l’uscio di sotto all’orribile torre.” 

       Also F. H. Bradley, Appearance and Reality, p. 346:     

       “My external sensations are no less private to myself than are my thoughts or my feelings. In either case my experience falls within my own circle, a circle closed on the outside; and, with all its elements alike, every sphere is opaque to the others which surround it. . . . In brief, regarded as an existence which appears in a soul, the whole world for each is peculiar and private to that soul.”     

       424. V. Weston, From Ritual to Romance; chapter on the Fisher King.     

       427. V. Purgatorio, xxvi. 148.
