Commonplace Book

'...So do we all begin by acting and the nearer we are to what we would be the more perfect our disguise. Finally there comes the moment when we are no longer acting; it may even catch us by surprise. We may look in amazement at our no longer borrowed plumage. The two have merged; that which we put on has joined that which was; acting has become action...'

from the piece on Hamlet in the Shakespeare Notes section (1921) of the Journal of Katherine Mansfield
