A quotation from Shakespeare

QUEEN: Uncle, for God’s sake speak comfortable words.
YORK: Should I do so, I should belie my thoughts.
   Comfort’s in heaven, and we are on the Earth,
   Where nothing lives but crosses, cares, and grief.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
Richard II, Act 2, sc. 2, l. 82ff (2.2.82-83) (1595)

Sonnet 039 - XXXIX
O! how thy worth with manners may I sing,
When thou art all the better part of me?
What can mine own praise to mine own self bring?
And what is't but mine own when I praise thee?
Even for this, let us divided live,
And our dear love lose name of single one,
That by this separation I may give
That due to thee which thou deserv'st alone.
O absence! what a torment wouldst thou prove,
Were it not thy sour leisure gave sweet leave,
To entertain the time with thoughts of love,
Which time and thoughts so sweetly doth deceive,
And that thou teachest how to make one twain,
By praising him here who doth hence remain.

Xa o gozara coma lectura, pero descoñecía o teatro galego en vivo. As experiencias que tiven estas últimas semanas foron formidábeis. Proba ser moderno, enerxético, enxeñoso, vivo. Isto dito do teatro é dito de todos e todas as persoas que o fan, intérpretes é técnicos/as.

Sonnet 045 - XLV
The other two, slight air, and purging fire
Are both with thee, wherever I abide;
The first my thought, the other my desire,
These present-absent with swift motion slide.
For when these quicker elements are gone
In tender embassy of love to thee,
My life, being made of four, with two alone
Sinks down to death, oppress'd with melancholy;
Until life's composition be recured
By those swift messengers return'd from thee,
Who even but now come back again, assured
Of thy fair health, recounting it to me:
This told, I joy; but then no longer glad,
I send them back again, and straight grow sad.

AngryBard

Somebody once made the mistake of reading “Andy Barr” as “AngryBard” and now he can’t shake off the nickname. A lovely but timid thirteen year old, AngryBard will happily curl up in a comfy chair, with a compelling book, and read to his heart’s content. Leave him alone and he’ll leave you alone, but if … <a href="https://www.slenderwolf.com/novels/characters/angrybard/" class="more-link">Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "AngryBard"</span></a>
