- ... is more than an American poet; he is a poet who can be understood anywhere by readers versed in matters more ancient and universal than the customs of one country, whatever that country is.

In writing the letter Toby, Fabian and Andrew were sure to play on all of Malvolio's emotions; instead of trying to fool Malvolio; they let Malvolio fool himself. The letter was written, in Malvolio's mind, as if it was written to him. That was the intent of the three ...
