I believe that is in the legendary "unpublished Quarto".

I find "Macbeth" interesting because it seems to have been written specifically for King James: It's packed with references to his personal life and opinions. It seems to be Shakespeare's pitch to the new king, to try and secure royal patronage.

Think the Literary Appreciation site is elsewhere.

I had to do it for my O level 60 odd years ago. Still remember great chunks of it we had to learn.
Now ask me what day it is or which county I live in, I'm stuffed.

Yes . I can remember doing that for our CSE's back in the 60's . Something about Laburnum woods going to Dunstable ! :whistle:

That's the very sad thing: it's all people remember when the play is about creation of a false narrative in service of the ruler; fake news in essence. It could be used to teach about extremism and the dangers of Propaganda.

Yesterday I chucked half a box of new inner tubes out because they kept bursting. Today my volunteer wanted to try pumping them up to make sure they were all defective. I said that was fine but be ready for them to burst.

Every five minutes I hear a loud bang through the wall...
See how big you can get one of them, without it bursting. Eight foot diameter should be easily reached.

Their holidays are expensive, but you can still admire the skills and landscapes.

Talking of landscapes, I will be holiday from tomorrow for at least one week, possibly two.

As usual, I will be staying somewhere that I look after two cats and the plants in the garden. No packing, no long journeys and the local residents are very quiet ^_^ except for the owls, foxes and deer. The squirrels, snakes, frogs are silent. It is the ravens that make a raucous racket!
 
Warm, still and occasionally sunny here chez Casa Reynard.

Slept well, though I did have a very disturbing dream that made me wake up at about half six this morning. But I turned over and went back to sleep. Spent the morning doing some writing - well, making notes for suture chapters and making sure that elements of the plot are keeping their continuity. It's important in a story that hops backwards and forward through time.

I've also made a nice big pot of alphabet soup. As well as the alphabet (pasta) it's got onion, carrots, leek, celery, salad onions and a big bunch of parsley in it, along with some stock cubes. :hungry:

It is time for luncheon, so I shall be back later.

Glad to see somebody else has autospell or whatever causing misunderstandings. Sometimes when I have written something it might as well be alphabet soup before I get back to correct it if I happen to notice:rolleyes:.
