Ernest Hemingway at the famous bookshop “Shakespeare and Company” in Paris.
The Scottish Play :D
Oooh I miss Literature. I miss Lit.ImissLit.ImissLit.ImissLit.ImissLit.
ImissLit.
J told me about Blackadder. She gave me a gift that cheers me up every time I watch it. J is such a fun person. So sad I can’t meet her this time. In June, however, I’ll ditch everything else to meet her.
And T is missed too. I miss our conversations - I haven’t spoken to anyone about my love for The Scottish Play in the freakin’ Scottish land. Or seen somebody’s eyes sparkle as I speak of Ginsberg or Vonnegut or PoMo or Donne. Man I miss her. But this one, hopefully, I’ll meet real soon.
And, I downloaded SO much from DC++ this time - Tom & Jerry, A Bit of Fry and Laurie, Monty Python, Jeeves & Wooster, Sarabhai, House S08. Wow. I’m all set for the next two months.
I’m exploring Edinburgh with an old map this time - this book was pulblished around 1922. And most of these places are intact. I’m looking forward to this.
Meanwhile, home is heaven :)
Alan Rickman reads Shakespeare’s Sonnet 130
My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips’ red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask’d, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.well, now.
The voice. THE VOICE. Aaaaaaah….

Oh my, isn’t this erotic :P ?
One of my dearest wishes is to receive a love-letter in Shakepearean English. Dear A, are you listening ?
