But Shakespeare, in writing in the way McKellen describes, cannot only have used this external aspect of his mind. It may have guided him – he might (although I doubt it) have thought that that was all there was to it. But this aspect is relatively logical, and operates within a Universe with logical limits – despite its appearance of infinite variety. It seems unlikely that such a logical and limited outlook could on its own convey the apparently infinite variety and illogicality of this Universe, without invoking the aid of the immeasurable within Man's mind (that part which, unlike our conscious external awareness, may perceive the lack of 'inner' limits) – whether to perceive the patterns of the Universe, or to perceive the patterns of our minds, or in some other way inconceivable to my conscious external awareness.

This is, of course, a suggestion merely, and should be treated as such.
