Of the two, he was apparently,? the rasher of bacon.


I read one of his sonnets, and I swear! He was talking
to me from the grave!! I am the one! Not the boy, not
some young chick-a-dee (not anymore, anyway).
Shakespeare was telling me that if I understood his
sonnet then get a move on! Stop wasting time!


The Dark Lady is apparently,? older than either.
The sonnets were written when he was 29-33.
The "boy," evidently the Villiers who became James I's Buckingham,
was 17 at their outset.

As to making much of time through the whole work, he apparently
started them for a patronage (and published "Venus and Adonis")
because the theaters were closed by an outbreak of the Plague.
And the life expectancy was 39 even without it.

Did he know the degree of his brilliance beyond a patronage?
Did he understand the impact of what's in a name?
How did he feel about an audience enjoying the controversy
and not experiencing the layers of meaning that is given
meaning? Is it the experience that gives a play meaning?

Is it life? Love? Survival? Will? Motivation? Generations?
What gives the play meaning besides Shakespeare?
Besides me? Can there be experience and no longer
an awareness of how a judgement happens?
How the word became the word?
There is only that common expression,
"It is so because it is so." Is the only way to end
the judgement, what is passed from generation
to generation, the cycle, begging the question,
is for love, or something, to occur and an awareness
of this love to be born of a need to iconize
the process? A new name. A new word.
Maybe it would be the metastases of hate to love.
Romeo and Juliet did not both come
from one family or the other, but Juliet applied force
in order to cleave from one name.
What's in a name?
Was Shakespeare saying, "The rose stops here"?
The metastases of what to what is what?
Is it death? Life? Habit? Motivation?
What is the icon for Romeo cleaving to Juliet
and Juliet to Romeo. My god. It's suicide.
