Was it Dr. Johnson who, when confronted by a man claiming "I can call
spirits from the vasty deeps", replied "So too sir can I, but will they
answer when you call?"
[Not quite. It's Hotspur's retort to Glendower from King Henry IV,
Part 1, Act III, Scene I. The exact phrasing was:
GLENDOWER I can call spirits from the vasty deep.
HOTSPUR Why, so can I, or so can any man;
But will they come when you do call for them?
The rhythm of the last line was really neat, which is one reason it is
burned into my memory.
--Perry, who just couldn't resist.]
