Britney tackles the major concerns of tomorrow.

Her life was gentle, and the elements
So mixed in her that Nature might stand up
And say to all the world, “This was a (not a girl, not yet a) woman.”

Bard Chart of the Day: Shakespeare took his last breath 396 years ago today — but did we ever really lose him? Esquire columnist Stephen Marche, author of How Shakespeare Changed Everything, gives us a little perspective:

“Shakespeare is the foremost poet in the world. All of the scriptwriting books cite him as the dominant influence on Hollywood. He has had more influence on the novel than any novelist. The greater the artist, the more he or she was influenced by Shakespeare. Dickens and Keats were more inspired by Shakespeare than anybody, and their familiarity with Shakespeare seems to have made them more original, not less.”

this is beautiful but at the same time it annoys me that the &#8220;Horatio&#8221; has been omitted because it screws with the grace of the iambic pentameter.
the original lines are

&#8220;there are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,than are dreamt of in your philosophy&#8221;

That Cassius, he&#8217;s so sly. The only quotation I accurately regurgitated in last week&#8217;s exam. Not that I&#8217;m thinking/worried/concerned about that exam. *runs, vomits*
