Miss Letting-Go-Getting

Happy sort of 444th Birthday William Shakespeare or Sir Francis Bacon or whoever you really are!

Thanks for many, many things, especially:

the words gossip, eyeball, lonely, lustrous, besmirch, amazement and radiance, your sonnets, especially #30 and #98, for “I am not a slut, but I thank the God’s that I am foul,” “brevity is the soul of wit,” and “to thine own self be true,” for Jacques, Kate, Rosalind, Malvolio, Viola and Richard III, and for As You Like It, The Tempest, Twelfth Night, Troilus and Cressida and yes, even Pericles.

XXXOOO
