The Shakespeare game

The rules of the game are these: when you see this, quote a chunk of Shakespeare in your own journal. (Via a lot of folks, but Vorona was first I saw.)

Full fathom five thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes:
Nothing of him that doth fade
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.

    I think there is a lot of sea-changing going on in a lot of people’s lives right now.

    I love the sonnet that Vorona quotes. We actually had it read at our wedding.

    Love this. And of course it sends me scrambling to T. S. Eliot, who sends me scrambling to Baudelaire.
