WISE WORDS
FROM M : WILL
Let's look for a moment at, the
real Will Shakespeare. /
We find him in thee hundreds of
'brief passages that ..have 'come.
ringing down the years with their
universal truths. > He had ,to put
them in the mouths' of others, of
course, but the man. himself is
there, w a r m, alive, grinning,.
scowling,' scolding, exulting.
What could be more human, for
example, than his pridein hisown.
success? :: When the opening 'night.
performance of Hamlet showed
that the play. was .a : smash, : he
deftly ' inserted ; in the last scene,
and on the spur q of the, moment,
the 'joyful , line, "4 hit, , a very.
palpable hit!" , ,; . .
We can see his amused • toler-
ance 'of his , wife's lack :;of muscle
in another famous line.:: She'd„been
spring cleaning and. ,had ,.slipped,
:a disc • while ,,trying tQ move an
old `trunk?full Of- sonnets.' "Frail-
ty,. thy name woman,” quipped
Will.
We can sympathize-•-with'--his-hon-
est . rage (this ' was before dry-
cleaning) - as he scrubbed . 'the
gravy -stain on his new, silk breech-
es and , bellowed, "Out, damned
spot! Out, 1 `say!"

warm to. The Bard's forthright
suggestion, in Henry . VI, Part `2

• Everybody is .„ writing about'
,'Shakespeare these days. The only
sour note•in thefanfare of :acclaim
marking his 400th anniversary is
a . deep, rambling • sound that has
many people baffled.
A . few romantics claim it is , the:
ghostly applause' of nearly four
centuries of playgoers," echoing
•down the years. A few realists
assert that it is the mutinous
mumbling .of 20 generations of stu-
dents who had to memorize chunks
from . his works
Personally, I think' the discor-
dant note is 'caused, byi the rapid.
rotation( in' his . grave of the bones
of The Bard, a shrewd'' business-
man, as he agonizes` over "all
those royalties ` he. is not collect -
Otherwise,' things are - going
swimmingly as ; the critics . end
professors of English peer and
peek and poke among the mag-
nificent . debris, and the inane •'ar-
gument " about who really wrote'
his plays waxes, once more with
futile fury.
But ,I'm .not Concerned with_that:
There areenough people 'plodding
about through his works, tramp-
ling poetry underfoot as - . ; they
search for ..clues to, prove that he
was, really Bacon or ` Marlowe. ' or
the Earl of Something.
