"But it is this same fallible Count who...when confronted with his wife, when recognizing her, steps away from comedy. His request for forgiveness—the music leaves no doubt about this at all—is from the heart." I'm less certain than @mkimmage that the request is from the heart. — PolitiTweet.org

Kimmage's piece is very much worth reading. And his citation from Trilling is remarkable: The main character of The Middle of the Journey on Figaro: "It was in full flight and nearing its end in the magical last scene where farce moves to regions higher than tragedy can reach.” — PolitiTweet.org
