The Bard

Posted in Uncategorized at 10:50 pm by falstaff

Do you ever have one of those days when you end up just tripping on Shakespeare?

Combination of mail from a friend of mine who’s in Bard overdrive and a meme doing the rounds requiring that you put a quote from Shakespeare on your blog asap meant that this one was inevitable:

Alas! ’tis true, I have gone here and there,
And made my self a motley to the view,
Gored mine own thoughts, sold cheap what is most dear,
Made old offences of affections new;
Most true it is, that I have looked on truth
Askance and strangely; but, by all above,
These blenches gave my heart another youth,
And worse essays proved thee my best of love.

– William Shakespeare, ‘Sonnet No. CX’
