Saturday, March 9th. The Weekend Edition of William Shakespeare's Thought For The Day.

[Aristus]

"...brace of unmeriting, proud, violent, testy magistrates!"

Coriolanus, Act II, Scene 1, Lines 41-42.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. Ah, thank you, my dear Aristus!

This is perfect.

Thank you!

[In_The_Wind]

2. Indeed!

[fizzgig]

3. well done as always, sir

[Aristus]

4. Ah! Three of my favorite WSTFTD fans!

Actually all fans of WSTFTD are my favorites...

Will loves his admirers; and so do I...

[Kali]

5. um

isn't a brace a pair (2) of things?

[ashling]

[livetohike]

7. Couldn't find better adjectives for these three

[love_katz]

8. Unmeriting...

perfect!

As always, your choices are excellent.

[Aristus]

9. Thank you, love_katz.

[Honeycombe8]

10. That's a good one Aristus! Thanks!

Between you and the gal who does the artwork posts, I'm getting an education here!

[Aristus]

11. Shakespeare never ceases to be relevant.

Ben Jonson said of him: "He was not of an age, but for all time." What was said five hundred years ago is still true...

[femmocrat]

12. Perfect!

Did Will ever use the word "a-hole"? LOL

[Aristus]

13. Kick for Sunday.

21. Touche!

En Garde!

[Aristus]

22. Oof!

You got me!...

[sheshe2]

28. Oh No!

I meant no mortal wounds for you immortal soul! I never meant to inflict a wound that would send you to the angel's.

[Aristus]

29. Aw, sheshe2...

I'm okay, really. See?: Alive and well...

[Knightraven]

23. The words of William Shakespeare has a way to echo the times even today.

[Aristus]

25. That's why I do this.

I was inspired, back in 2006, a few months before the election that swung the Houses back to the Dems from the Republicans, by Mercutio's line from Romeo And Juliet: "A plague o' both your houses!"

I pasted a pic of the Capitol building, and typed the quote underneath, along with the source, Act, Scene, and Line.

I've been doing it ever since. Do it as a daily was exhausting, so I took a sabbatical for a while, then re-started the feature as a weekly.

Thanks for posting, Knightraven! I hope you will be a regular here.

26. I'm looking forward to it!

Kenneth Branagh's version has long been one of my favorite Shakespeare films, despite the presence of the awful Keanu Reeves.

I like the look of this one. The music and the behaviors look sort of Jazz Age, but the clothing is present-day. Can't wait to see it!...
