This is great. I didn't realize it was about the show till I got halfway through. I haven't been watching the show so I avoid spoilers on principle. But now I guess I have to watch the show.
This:
"If the shortcuts didn't think of themselves as shortcuts, as cheats ... then they wouldn't be. "By the incantation of this verse": I was not only capable of thinking I was more, but I put that thought into words that, read by anyone, make them think it, no matter how many times, no matter where, no matter when. There are parts of the world (words are part of the world) out of which the mind can make what will make the mind more."

A good account of Shakespeare, too.
