Well, my convertible bug was named 'Puck'... Yes, fun!

:) I know not how one can hear, yet remain unmoved.
Fun!

You ARE the best! Doesn't that rouse a fire in your breast?!
There is a wonderful Shakespeare company about an hour away, which we attend a performance from every year.

I knew you would pick that up and run with it! My son is reading that now.
My favorite though, is the speech from 'Henry V', St. Crispin's Day. We need one like him, here, now.

"Perchance to dream..."

To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause.
Hamlet (3.1.64-98) Shakespeare

Perchance to dream....

You get a point for remembering Huxley!

Thanks! I do appreciate a fine vocabulary.
Those book sales are a positive sign. I hope the message penetrates the ennui.

I am glad. People can save themselves a lot of trouble by reading the books of those authors!

Unfortunately these events are coming to pass.
