Introducing Shakespeare

One thing I intended to do in the holidays was think about what this blog is for and why I keep it and how long it's been since I wrote a substantial post containing an original thought. I didn't really do that. And for all I think about dissolving it often, I do just like to keep it here, for when something takes my fancy to post and share.

I was recently reminded of how good Shakespeare is, and how quotable, and so, with the aid of a Shakespeare birthday book from long ago, I thought I might start posting, regularly (but I won't make promises on how regularly, because you know how these things go), snippets of Shakespeare. Nearing the end of September, on a Tuesday, is a queer time to begin, but why wait for a more obvious starting point. And it seemed only fitting to begin with this next quote, that being Shakespeare on poetry, from 25th September in my little book.
