Brevity by Dan Thompson for April 23, 2024

Today is the anniversary of the Bard’s death, I think.

“I’ll draw a sketch of thee. What kind of pencil shall I use? 2B or not 2B?” said Hamlet to Ophelia.

He looks more like Walter Cronkite than Shakespeare.

If you go to YouTube and look up Bardcore, you’ll find lots of music — modern tunes played in Elizabethan style and on era-appropriate instruments.

Brevity is the soul of wit.

Take heed! It’s International Talk Like Shakespeare Day!
