It is the 445th anniversary of the birth of William Shakespeare (1564). The 1560s were a different sort of 60s altogether from the sort of 60s many of us knew, but the man had the hair for it, an eye for the irony of it, and an ear for the music of it, that keeps him cool throughout. A tip of the hat & a tip of the glass and a trip tippling a phrase traipsing merrily off the tongue.
Feliz compleanos, Don Bard!
O, that a man might know
The end of this day's business ere it come!
But it sufficeth that the day will end,
And then the end is known.
Julius Caesar -- Act V; Scene 1 (Brutus)

Wondered why I seemed to have Shakespeare on the brain all day...
