So yes I have been procrastinating A LOT lately. But I did get a bunch of work donethis afternoon.
But I found something that is rather educational for me to spend time on. Shakespeare!
Yeah, Wikisource has all of the plays and I feel the need to read them all.
So I started reading All's Well that Ends Well. And it has a great line early on in the first scene."
HELENA.
Ay. You have some stain of soldier in you: let me ask you a question.
Man is enemy to virginity; how may we barricado it against him?
PAROLLES.
Keep him out.
HELENA.
But he assails; and our virginity, though valiant in the
defence, yet is weak: unfold to us some warlike resistance.
PAROLLES.
There is none: man, setting down before you, will undermine you
and blow you up.
HELENA.
Bless our poor virginity from underminers and blowers-up!-Is
there no military policy how virgins might blow up men?
Once again I heart Shakespeare. He makes me happy.
Really happy.
