Shakespeare...

I wonder if William knew that centuries after he was gone, people around the world would know of his life, his works, his name....I wonder if he has hoped for this divine immortality...a life after death... his words have formed humanity as Harold Bloom has said.. His name and his works have stood the test of time; the true test of time. One does not even have to read a play from Shakespeare to know a phrase or cliche that originated from him... he is legendary just like The Beatles...and Train in my opinion.. These musicians have proven they too can stand the test of time with beautiful yet sometimes fragmented ballads of love, life, and death... everyone can say they have heard a Beatles song...and when Drops of Jupiter comes on the radio.. the lyrics and profound and poetic.
