and how can "quick Nature" mean "living capacity?"  And how
did Marley lose his "living capacity," if he were still alive.
According
to the Marlovian delusion, he would only have lost one aspect
of his living capacity, assuming acting as a front could be considered
part of Marley's "living capacity."

And why insert so stupid a fake word as "sieh" to make a point
that makes no sense?  He is returned from where to where?  If
returned as a writer, how?  What new Shakespearean works
came out "nevertheless?"

And the writing is alive whether Marley was responsible for it or not.
And how is Marlowe in the monument withe Shakespeare?  His name,
according the the mad decipherer, is on the monument with
Shakespeare's but not in it, nor is he--or, for that matter,
Shakespeare.
Nor is he is Shakespeare's grave with him.

I can't believe anyone but Peter and a few other fanatical Marlovians
accept his reading as valid.
