six

" A plague on both your houses!"

Six words thrown together by William Shakespeare but would carry the weight and emotional gravity of those words spoken. for centuries....how much of what we say and do in life will carry on for centuries? Just think, in the time of Shakespeare, Mary, Queen of Scots was executed. Sir Francis Drake completed the first circumnavigation of the globe. The Spanish Armada was defeated and the renowned East India Treading Company was established. Four separate pandemics of the Plague.....and yet, here we are all these years later and his words still fall so deeply....

"Though art more lovely and more temperate...."

I've always been in love with writers....
