"When in that moment, so it came to pass, Titania waked and straightway loved an ass."

It's bad when Shakespeare out of context is enough to make me laugh

@StrawberryMilkshake which is probably why I haven't spent much time on it.

Macbeth is more my kind of play. Dark, full of evil and treachery, tragic and has some justice at the end when he gets what he deserves.

@StrawberryMilkshake After Macbeth my two favourites are probably Julius Caesar and then Hamlet. King Lear is very good too.

There's so much that I like about Macbeth but this part in particular stands out in my mind


Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

I dunno why I find this mildly amusing 😂

@StrawberryMilkshake man, that's really incredible how many whales alone you guys get. You have put Greenland on my radar for potential travel places tbh 👀

Is it better to travel there in the summer or winter tho?

As you know, this custom did not begin or end with Shakespeare.

@StrawberryMilkshake I wasn't thinking of bestiality.

I was thinking of how many women come home swooning, "I am so in love!"

And days, weeks, months later, "He's such an ass."

[quote] a crow flew hard against my front window, believing it air, and in that moment of contact when his wing snapped, a clean break, and the glass bowed, unseen in this ordinary light, but visible, I suspect, at a point in space and time infinitely more forgiving, there broke free in that fractured second the tone and very timbre of mercy.'
