Shakespeareaholic

He didn’t care for Wilde, And Chaucer was ‘alright,’ But quoted from The Bard At morning, noon and night. He loved the characters, The funny and bizarre - And fat old Falstaff was His favourite by far. He liked Malvolio, And never tired of Hal, He felt for Timon too - And would have been his pal. He lived for Will Shakespeare - His name could make him smile. I guess he’s not alone - His words make life worthwhile!

Verdi's Falstaff is one of my favorite operas. Sir John is a favorite of many composers and writers. The romantics certainly adored Shakespeare - Berlioz, Tschaikowsky, Congrats on the selection. LOve, daver

Oh how I love Shakespeare. Chaucer never did it for me either, but so many of Shakespeare's plays are filled with remarkable characters. I think my favorites are Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet and old Hecate in Macbeth. Very nice to make your acquaintance, Jack. Welcome to Poetry Soup! Best wishes, Carolyn
