This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "'I'm always ill after Shakespeare,' said Mrs Wititterly. 'I scarcely exist the next day; I find the reaction so very great after a tragedy, my lord, and Shakespeare is such a delicious creature.'" in the context of "Charles Dickens, Nicholas Nickleby (1838–1839), Ch. 27." to mean that wisdom is timeless.
