I read recently that the Earth is 80% brighter in the Moon's sky than the Moon is in ours.

The first is from the epilogue (in sonnet form) from A Midsummer Night's Dream and spoken by Puck. The second is a line from Henry V.

The scene where he carries in Cordelia's body, the noose still around her neck, is shattering, as is the scene previous where Lear reveals that she had "cause" to reject him and she says "no cause...no cause..." It is a stunningly intimate moment...

From a minor procedure.

Super nauseated and feeling like I've been hit by a bus.

Hope tomorrow's better and I can think of drinking and dinner with you and Will.
