Here Ipswich was raided, and very soon after that Ealdorman Byrhtnoth was killed at Maldon; and in that year it was first decided tax be paid to the Danish men because of the great terror which they had wrought along the sea coast. That was at first 10 thousand pounds. Archbishop Sigeric decided on the decision.
“I took by the throat the circumcised dog,
And smote him, thus.”

“For within the hollow crown
That rounds the mortal temples of a king
Keeps Death his court and there the antic sits,
Scoffing his state and grinning at his pomp,
Allowing him a breath, a little scene,
To monarchize, be fear’d and kill with looks,
Infusing him with self and vain conceit,
As if this flesh which walls about our life,
Were brass impregnable, and humour’d thus
Comes at the last and with a little pin
Bores through his castle wall, and farewell king!”
–Richard II, Act 3, scene ii

“The hum of either army stilly sounds,
That the fixed sentinels almost receive
The secret whispers of each other’s watch:
Fire answers fire, and through their paly flames
Each battle sees the other’s umber’d face;
Steed threatens steed, in high and boastful neighs
Piercing the night’s dull ear, and from the tents
The armourers, accomplishing the knights,
With busy hammers closing rivets up,
Give dreadful note of preparation”
–King Henry V, Prologue to Act 4

Prov. 29:1 “He that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy”
“To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish’d.”
–Hamlet, Act 3, scene i
Fast on those quotes, eh, DRY?
prov.29:20 “seest thou a man who is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him”
Daniel…is it just me, or do have your biblical references have “fool” in them?
“I had rather have a fool to make me merry than experience to make me sad”
–As You Like It, Act 4, scene i
It’s a word that the KJV translators were fond of using instead of a few possible stronger words. We could ask our Hebrew experts what the actual translations are.
However, re experiences-Eccl.1:9 “That thing that hath been, it IS that which shall be; and that which is done IS that which shall be done; and there is no new thing under the sun.”
Of course, in my previous post, the first “have” should have been “half”–“do HALF your posts have ‘fool’ in them?”
“We defy augury: there’s a special
providence in the fall of a sparrow.
If it be now, 'tis not to come;
if it be not to come, it will be now;
if it be not now, yet it will come:
the readiness is all:
since no man has aught of what he leaves,
what is’t to leave betimes?”
–Hamlet, Act 5, scene ii
Eccl.3-8 "For every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the Heaven;
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to sow, and a time to reap;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather together;
A time to embrace, and a time to refrain;
A time to get, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate;
A time of war, and a time of peace.
and on that note, to bed for me.
“There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in YOUR philosophy.”

Hope it’s OK to join in… A lot of people got very philosophical here today, I thought Confucius may be a good source:

The philosopher Tsang being ill, Meng Chang went to ask how he was. Tsang said to him, “When a bird is about to die, its notes are mournful; when a man is about to die, his words are good.”
