Өнөөдөр Шекспирын төрсөн өдөр гэж байна шүү. Хэдийгээр Шекспир яг хэзээ төрсөн нь тодорхой бус байдаг ч, түүний төрсөн өдрийг 1564 оны 4 сарын 23-наар тооцдог гэнээ. Энэ жил түүний мэндэлсний 441 жилийн ой болж байгаа юм байна. Happy birthday, Billy гэсэн, 😀
From “King Lear”:
This is the excellent foppery of the world, that, when we are
sick in fortune,–often the surfeit of our own behaviour,–we
make guilty of our disasters the sun, the moon, and the stars; as
if we were villains on necessity; fools by heavenly compulsion;
knaves, thieves, and treachers by spherical pre-dominance;
drunkards, liars, and adulterers by an enforced obedience of
planetary influence; and all that we are evil in, by a divine
thrusting on: an admirable evasion of whoremaster man, to lay his
goatish disposition to the charge of a star!—
As flies to wanton boys are we to the gods,–
They kill us for their sport.
