Shakespeare: Contribution to the English Language

This is my favorite of all the favorite quotes in the world.
"All the world's a stage"..

Meaning

Life is like a play - we merely go through the stages of our life acting it out.

Origin

From Shakespeare's As You Like It, 1600:

JAQUES:
All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.
And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side,
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

The Last Tuesday Society in London

The Last Tuesday Society The Last Tuesday Society is a pataphysical organization founded by William James at Harvard in the 1870s and presently run by The Chancellor, Mr.Viktor Wynd with the aid of The Fellows of The Society. It is devoted to exploring and furthering the esoteric, literary and artistic aspects of life in London and beyond.

The Last Tuesday Society attempts to recreate the decadence and naughtiness of the 19th century.

Typical Glamourous Debauchery and lots of drinking.

Suzette's Cheese Board.

Most their Mask Balls are from the Victorian era, however, they do mix things up. This Ball was the Renaissance Ball held on January 29, 2010, complete with regaled in authentic comstumes, mask and Renaissance attitude.

Unfortunately, my flight back to the USA was on February 2, 2010, I was running around like a mad to try and prepare for my big move back across the pond. I barely had time to eat, so of course,  didn't make it. There's always tomorrow to make dreams come true.In fact, I discovered that there is annual Edwardian party that takes place every Janaury in San Francisco. And, now Los Angeles has there own Last Tuesday Society. It's a big world that we live in, and the more you travel, the more you realize we are all the same.

Sabrina's London Diaries: Finding Mr. Darcy: Israeli soldier vs. English Scholar; The Rugged vs. The Refined

I didn't post this blog a bit back when I wrote it. Melchett Mike is about an Expatriate Londoner of Jewish lawyer origins who decides he wants to live in Israel for a time in his life. It's an excellent and entertaining blog about every facet of Israeli life, including dating and relationships.
This is what Mike wrote about his brothers in Israel the Philistine with the small pee.. I always say consider the source.

Blunders and Faux Pas in Sabrina's London Diaries

Hello My Wonderful Readers,
Thank you for reading Sabrina's London Diaries and subscribing. I am heading to almost over 100 posts in a few days. It's been an exciting pleasure for me to write in my diaries and share my experiences with the public, and good friends.

I wanted to let you know that I had to repost my last blog, and sorry if your getting a second posting. I want to get it right this time.

Also, wanted to say, that I am still very NEW to Blogging.  When someone told me to write about my experiences in London in Autumn 2008, I didn't know how to do it. I had to teach myself everything, pretty much, and AM  STILL teaching myself everything along the way. Usually, I am learning by experimentation.That said, I don't understand how everything works, and sometimes, if you get things from DIGG, sorry but I still don't understand how that happens, nor how to fix it.  Evertime, I publish some content from other articles I write online on DIGG it goes to my Sabrina's London Diaries blog. 

Recently, I published some quizzes and meant them to be published just on the side bar of my blog,Learning Spanish is Fun, ( it was meant for my Spanish students). I was surprised to find the Quizes published in all my blogs and as a post in Sabrina's London Diaries  I just don't get it.  So forgive me. Thanks in advance.

Hey, I did manage to put TABS in all my 3 blogs and to change the photos. So, I do know something. ( hehehe)... and evolution is possible... (he he).

sincerely,
Sabrina Grace
