"Shakespeare and I - Mirroring All Façades of Reality" (Preface) by MySelfie
38 plays, 154 sonnets, and 4 poems ("A Lover's Complaint", "Venus and Adonis", "The Rape of Lucrece", "The Phoenix and the Turtle") in 2461 silky-paper pages (in my A. L. Rowse edition). After coming out of the black hole on the other side of the galaxy, what I've got to report? First and foremost, was it worth it? Definitely yes. To have steeped my mind in the words and the themes, to be elevated by Shakespeare’s Weltanschauung, his ability to put life on display in words, that's what made me undertake this so-called project.
If you're into Shakespeare, read on the rest of the preface.
