THIS IS MY LOT, BEAUTIFUL STRANGERS.

Shakespeare's cynical but rather evoking takes on life (quotes from his tragedy, King Lear):

"How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is
To have a thankless child."

- King Lear, Act I Sc iv

"O, reason not the need! Our basest beggers
Are in the poorest thing superfluous;
Allow not nature more than nature needs,
Man's life is cheap as beast's."

-King Lear, Act II Sc ii

"When we are born we cry that we are come
To this great stage of fools."

- King Lear, Act IV Sc vi

"Men must endure
Their going hence even as their coming hither.
Ripeness is all."

-Edgar, Act V Sc ii

"The weight of this sad time we must obey
Speak what we feel, not what we ought to say,
The oldest hath borne most; we that are young
Shall never see so much, nor live so long."

-Edgar, Act V Sc iii


And as for me, to the Literature gallows I go! I can't wait for Thursday's late afternoon.

FIGHTING!
