Shakespeare Sonnet 1: To the youth!

'Fair youth, be not churlish, be not self-centred, but go forth and fill the world with images of yourself, with heirs to replace you. Because of your beauty you owe the world a recompense, which now you are devouring as if you were an enemy to yourself. Take pity on the world, and do not, in utter selfish miserliness, allow yourself to become a perverted and self destructive object who eats up his own posterity'.

The above text appears in between the today version and the 1609 version of Sonnet 1. See also the further commentary on Sonnet 1 of Shakespeare's Sonnets. Ref. http://www.shakespeares-sonnets.com/sonnet/1

What is what...

Oh Gosh! Friendliness, kindness and goodness are attitudes, affected or real, as well as their opposites. Happiness is an effect due to the fact of feeling happy, it's a sentiment, like love for instance. Make a listing of what is what... In my opinion sentiments and attitudes have different sources, virtual or imagined.

See Sartre for more details, please.

At young age the walk begins!

I guess my late father would have said: "You are on your own lad! Show me that you can manage by yourself." Prowdly I walked away on that dusty road.

Brian Murphy is Shakespeare for a Day...

What star gave blessing to this mortal bard
Who by his words gain'd immortality?
What gods gave wit and art and clarity
To make our Will so eloquently starr'd.
He knew us to our core, he penn'd us each
...In words that even now remain in reach.

(Winning entry in our Be Shakespeare for a Day contest)

This verse is made by Brian! Very clever Brian! I love it! Thanks!

Oh how true!

William Shakespeare
Lady Macbeth:
How now, my lord, why do you keep alone,
Of sorriest fancies your companions making,
Using those thoughts which should indeed have died
With them they think on? Things without all remedy
Should be without regard: what's done, is done.
