Shakespeare knew what he was talking about - so many times, ages hence would quote him - sometimes giving him credit, sometimes not, but even 500 years ago, he knew stuff would be timeless, and he really capitalized on it. At least I hope he did.
To be or not to be. Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Yond Cassius (insert other covetous politician's name) has a lean and hungry look; such men are dangerous. Yep. He knew what he was talking about.
Deciding who and what to do or be is a timeless concept. Relating women to the heat of passion another timeless adage; and lean and hungry politicians will do just about anything to get attention. Such is the stuff that writers are made of. I wonder if the Bard knew just how timeless his works would be? Hell, he must have known - he wrote about his own immortality often enough.
Happy Birthday, Will. You pulled it off!
