Monday, September 7th. William Shakespeare's Thought For Labor Day.

[Aristus]

"We are but warriors for the working day."

Henry V, Act IV, Scene 3, Line 109.

This is probably the third time I have repeated this line in celebration of Labor Day. There are many similar, appropriate lines from Shakespeare, but nothing tops this one. Happy Labor Day, all you pro-labor liberals!

1. Happy Labor Day!

2. Happy Labor Day, and Thank You, my dear Aristus!

These are great, and of course Will's quote is perfect!

I recognize most of them......but not the lady at the top. Who is she?

Cesar Chavez is next, and then another person whose name I can't remember, and last is Woodie Guthrie.

What a great lineup! Thank you again.

[Aristus]

3. Mother Jones.

Probably the most famous female labor leader.

The angry-looking guy with the eyebrows is John L. Lewis, a coal miner and labor leader from the early 20th Century.

4. Ah, thank you!

I did not know her.

And of course John L. Lewis.

Good to see you! Don't see you around here much anymore. Thanks for popping in...

12. Been pretty busy with work.

Haven't had the energy or time to do much other than collapse when I finally get home. I skim DU for mental refreshment but haven't had time to comment much. I am always glad to see your posts from WS. Please send my regards to him, and my congratulations on the coat of arms.

11. Since, as we all know, the Bard has thoughts on every subject...

what does he have to say about air that's hot as a blast furnace??



Just wondering...
