Lucky Ladies

This was the view from the Ladies' Room at the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre earlier tonight, 3/11/12. Sorry guys!

Sea Change

Full fathom five thy father lies;

Of his bones are coral made:
Those are pearls that were his eyes:
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
---Shakespeare, The Tempest

Something water-related for Shakespeare's birthday, which was last Friday, 4/23/10.

Though thou the waters warp...

In honor of Shakespeare's birthday:Blow, blow, thou winter wind,
Thou art not so unkind
As man's ingratitude;
Thy tooth is not so keen,
Because thou art not seen,
Although thy breath be rude.
Heigh-ho! sing heigh-ho!
unto the green holly:
Most friendship is feigning,
most loving mere folly:
Then, heigh-ho, the holly!
This life is most jolly.

Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky,
That dost not bite so nigh
As benefits forgot:
Though thou the waters warp,
Thy sting is not so sharp
As friend remember'd not.
Heigh-ho! sing, heigh-ho!
