Hi Branka,
I have been following this thread with utmost interest. I have also been trying to find if only a little time to post in it. There are so many things that I would like to share about my relationship with the author and his work. Unfortunately, I am still pressed by the tyrant and there is little I can do about it at present.
William Shakespeare, what a great subject indeed! Perhaps as this thread progresses and if time permits, I will be able to make a few comments on those of his works that I have read in the past. One of the wonderful things concerning literature is how the great literary works can differently affect you at different stages of your life.
At any rate, thank you for bringing this subject to us.
Hugs and Blessings,
Miguel
Hi Miguel,
It feels great to have you joining us, thank you!
It is wellknown that during his life Shakespeare wrote 37 plays and 156 sonnets. Research on his life was always a powerful magnet for me, but lately, when I became a passionate swimmer upstream, Shakespeare's paradoxes became my "companions". Pleyade of great minds from Reneissance, holds the keys to many misteries.
Simply, I am in awe, not only by their artistic scope. Somehow I can see, around the same table, onothologists and gnoseologists, agnostics and sermons, fools and sages. But, it would be too much for now :).
Leaving here one great big hug to you Miguel, along with those amazing Richard II words:
. . . . How sour sweet music isWhen time is broke, and no proportion kept.So is it in the music of men's lives:Here have I the daintiness of earTo check time broke in a disordered string,But for the concord of my state and time,Had not the ear to hear my true name broke.I wasted time, and now doth time waste me. (V.v.41-49)
