Chorus in Henry V

I just wanted to write a little something about how historical a part the "Chorus" is in Henry V. The way that Shakespeare actually asks the audience to make a pact of imagination with him is something we don't see very often anymore. The Chorus asks the audience to let their imaginations go. one of my favorite lines in the entire play is "O do but think/ you stand upon the ravage and behold/ a city so inconstant billows dancing;/ for so appears this fleet majestical,/ holding due course to Harfleur. Follow, follow:/Grapple your minds to sternage of this navy,/And leave your England, as dead midnight still." So incredible that there would people from all social classes being asked to use the one thing they have in common, their imagination. 

Anyway,

that is all
