Shakespeare, 28th August

I have been studying how I may compare

This prison where I live unto the world:

.    .    .    .    .    .    .    .

I cannot do it; yet I'll hammer it out.

My brain I'll prove the female to my soul,

My soul the father; and these two beget

A generation of still-breeding thoughts,

And these same thoughts people this little world.

King Richard II., Act v., Sc. 5.
