Saturday, October 13th. William Shakespeare's Thought For The Day:

[Aristus]

"I am sorry for thy much misgovernment."

Much Ado About Nothing, Act IV, Scene 1, Line 99.

1. My dear Aristus!

Hmmm...this one has me a bit puzzled...

I'm thinking out loud...

This is about * and his misgovernment over the whole country?

:shrug:

I always appreciate your offerings, sweetie! :hug:

[Aristus]

2. Yeah. It's Will's expression of sympathy for the U.S.' sad period of misrule.

'Un Saison D'Enfer' as Arthur Rimbaud might have called it.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Thanks!

Or...A Season of Hell!

Also an excellent description of our misrule...

[Aristus]

4. Kick for the evening crowd.

:kick:

5. That's really neat.!!

My wife is an English Lit major and is really impressed by your accuracy! She pulled out her text book tonight and read to me the passage you were referring to! (this coming from an engineer!!!)

Thank you!!

[Aristus]

6. Thanbk you. What's fun about this is that the line is spoken by Don John

to Hero. I played the part of Don John in a local production of Much Ado about nine years ago. This line was incredibly fun to deliver. I really Jeremy Irons'ed it up. I tucked a finger under her chin and looked her in the eye. "Thus, pretty lady...I am sorry for thy much misgovernment", then gently shoved her face away. You could almost hear the audience hissing. B-)
