6. You could not have chosen a more appropriate pairing.
How'd you do that?

7. I've been doing WSTFTD for about five years now.
I'm starting to get a feel for how to pair a Shakespeare quote with an appropriate political image.

Plus, I have lots of help:

The Complete Works Of William Shakespeare, Unabridged.
The Yale Shakespeare.
The Riverside Shakespeare.
The Library Shakespeare.
The Shakespeare Book Of Lists.
The Shakespeare Miscellany.

8. I used to have The Complete Works
leftover from my college days. My daughter nabbed it when she left home. I guess that's a good thing.

Thanks for The Thoughts. I really enjoy them.
