...Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer / The slings of outrageous fortune, / Or to take arms against a sea of troubles / And by opposing end them. To die - to sleep ... and by a sleep to say we end / The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to ... To sleep, perchance to dream - ay, there's the rub: / For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, / When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, / Must give us pause - there's the respect / That makes calamity of so long life...
Now I know what the mortal coil is. (Been wondering.) Merci.
Note to self: think happy thoughts... happy thoughts...
Ms Merc, in high school we refered to the bard as "shakey baby" so you know that omission or not, you're still a few up on me at your age (and now too). hah!

Reminds me:

(Insert "and arrows" where appropriate... Shakespeare's just too kewl for this lowly high schooler to regurgitate properly.)
