"Square Pegs: A Rhymed Fantasy For Two Girls" by Clifford Bax is a theatrical play written in the early 20th century. This whimsical work, presented in rhymed verse, captures a dialogue between two characters—Hilda, a modern girl from the Twentieth Century, and Gioconda, a Venetian girl from the Fifteenth Century. The play explores themes of time travel and the comparison of romantic notions across different eras. The story unfolds in an enchanted garden where Hilda and Gioconda meet, each yearning to escape their own time for the adventures of the other. As they share their woes regarding love, their conversations reveal the stark contrast between modern and historical romantic expressions. Hilda is disenchanted with her suitor's mundane and slangy proposal, while Gioconda finds herself frustrated by the limitations of her own age’s social conventions. Their bond deepens as they role-play their respective lovers, leading to a humorous and poignant realization that love's essence transcends time, ultimately concluding with both girls deciding to embrace their own lives with renewed appreciation.
