The Secret in Words
A Drama
“The ingenious verbal artifice of ‘The Secret in Words’, although a mere trifle if compared to the marvellous intricacy of a similar cipher in Tirso’s ‘Amar por Arte Mayor’, from which Calderon’s play was taken—loses sadly in a translation; yet the piece, even with this disadvantage, cannot fail to please”.
J. R. Chorley in “The Athenæum”.
