…to read a good book. Or awake and restless to while away the hours forgetful of your dis-ease. The book of William, the promised blog. Solopsism central to any understanding of these words reviewing my greed reading this book. It arrived late and unsigned as promised in the sell but to hell with that. […] So what does a contended and contentious music writer have to say about Shakespeare? Well first off, he’s a damn fine scholar in my estimation. Second he’s got a bone to pick with another Lady scholar. And Clinton Heylin’s scholarship picks that bone like a starving hyena. The premise is that the sonnet quarto […] …makes me feel fine, flowin’ through the jasmine in my mind. Ok enough, enough with the Ron Rosenbaum enthusiasm. I spent yesterday cruising the web for reviews of his Shakespeare Wars. (I hear cries of ‘get a life’) The reason being I’m having trouble finishing his book, despite repeated attempts to do so. I […] …Sir Peter Hall’s insistence on a pause, howsoever slight, at the end of an IP verse line is sound. Silence rather. It allows the listener’s ear to hear, their mind to digest the meaning of the utterance; and the speaker to remain poised, if it is a run-on line.

We have but collected them, and done an office […] I’m busy putting together a thesaurus of the sonnets and these thoughts arise. The classifications follow those of Marvin Spevack’s Shakespeare Thesaurus. Classifying is box-making. But the questions always remain: does everything fit into one box, or occupy places in one more, or many more boxes? If a word is a box, association […] (what follows is parsed from Cato’s Distichs which can be found in the links to the right. Cannot be ignored as an influence on Shakes or indeed any educated european early modern). He passed on up to the grammar school where now his studies were to be those of the trivium, comprising grammar, rhetoric and […] After reading G.T. Wright’s book Shakespeare’s Metrical Art the persuasions that Shakespeare was any more than an inkfish-thespian spreading his buskins-worth of verse, blank verse and prose for discerning readers and audience doesn’t fly anymore.
