It’s easy to identify gaps in a supposedly “universal” collection, and very easy to post anachronic judgments of what your predecessors ignored.

There is surely nothing more incongruous or anachronic in the soliloquy of Tristram after his separation from Iseult than in the lecture of Theseus after the obsequies of Arcite.

Better that it should not have consented to motion, and have held stubbornly to all ancestral ways, than have bred that anachronic spectre.
