"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
Quite glorious - Shakespeare did come close to rewriting fairy tales. King Lear was originally just a popular story about a mythical king, and Troilus and Cressida never did exist either - their romance was invented in medieval times as an elaboration on the Trojan war story. I wonder if Shakespeare knew the Three Little Pigs story though?
Thank you for the link kind sir. Isn't it ironic that the funniest comedians are also the cleanest?
