Yeats on dramatic subject matter

FAVORITE
Drama is a means of expression, not a special subject matter, and the dramatist is as free to choose, where he has a mind to, as the poet of ‘Endymion’ or as the painter of Mary Magdalene at the door of Simon the Pharisee.

~ William Butler Yeats, DISCOVERIES; A VOLUME OF ESSAYS
