I'll have to look into that a bit. As for Hugh Hewitt, I've always been a fan -- thanks for the tip.Eowynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11166378681749345402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25624602.post-46233554506605660462008-07-18T16:31:00.000-07:002008-07-18T16:31:00.000-07:00Eowyn, I don't know if you might also be a fellow ...Eowyn, I don't know if you might also be a fellow fan of Hugh Hewitt's radio show, but there's a delightful Shakespeare expert named David Allen White that he brings on once a month. If you scroll through the TownHall archives of his show you can find them and podcast them. (no commercials, so you can listen to an hour program in 35 minutes..)<BR/><BR/>Once David Allen White was asked about Shakespeare possibly working on the King James Bible translation, since his fame as a playwright coincided in time with the famous literary undertaking... there's no proof that he participated, but White had a tantalizing hint that it might have happened.Charles Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18168475254263681673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25624602.post-61782435644620831532008-07-18T12:48:00.000-07:002008-07-18T12:48:00.000-07:00There is so much to get from life if one cares at ...There is so much to get from life if one cares at all. Even my cat is a fan. I yelled at her recently for peeing on the floor:<BR/><BR/>"Out, out damned Spot."<BR/><BR/>She must know her Shakespeare.

Can't remember whether it was Dagny Taggart or Cheryl Taggart, her sister-in-law, who observed that the enemy of reason was less a slavering beast than a soft emanation of goo -- or words to that effect. And, therefore, all the more terrifying.<BR/><BR/>Still, I believe Shakespeare was divinely inspired. I believe each and every word was meant to be absorbed in the same spirit as the Bible. There is too much truth there for it not to be so.<BR/><BR/>And I believe truth will out. <BR/><BR/>But, in moments of weakness, this stuff eats in and festers. "Beware the green-eyed monster, that doth mock the meat it feeds upon," I guess *wry smile*Eowynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11166378681749345402noreply@blogger.com
