EVANS „there is three umpires in this matter, as I understand; that is, Master Page (fidelicet Master Page); and there is myself (fidelicet myself); and the three party is (lastly and finally) mine host of the Garter.“ William Shakespeare #MerryWives_2025 I,1 (125-128)

#MerryWives_2025 "If Merry Wives is to be related to the chronology of the histories, Falstaff's penury and Prince Hal's absence might suggest the period of his reported disgrace between King Henry IV, Part 2 and his reported death in King Henry V." Introduction, Arden 3rd.

#MerryWives_2025 "It has been used as the basis for the libretto of at least nine operas, including Giuseppe Verdi's Falstaff (1893)." Introduction, Arden 3rd. Happily, I attended the 2014 Canadian Opera Company production of Falstaff.

#MelvilleMonday 🐳 „But the special curse, as one may call it, of the Encantadas, that which exalts them in desolation above Idumea and the Pole, is, that to them change never comes; neither the change of seasons nor of sorrows.“

Pierre now turned over the soul of Hamlet in his hand. He knew not—at least, felt not—then, that Hamlet, though a thing of life, was after all, but a thing of breath evoked by the wanton magic of a creative hand, and as wantonly dismissed at last into endless halls of hell and night. #melvillemonday

Julio Cortázar Rayuela (128) Nous sommes quelques-uns à cette époque à avoir voulu attenter aux choses, créer en nous des espaces à la vie, des espaces qui n'étaient pas et ne semblaient pas devoir trouver place dans l'espace. Artaud, Le Pèse-nerfs

Thinking about planning a return trip to Scotland next year, staying on one of the islands. I'm not too interested in touring, just beachcombing, writing, reading, cooking ... Bliss. I've traveled there extensively but always looking for recommendations. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Hay quienes hoy sienten melancolía por el de los bigotes con tricornio. Yo prefiero sucumbir al romanticismo desmedido de Keats en el aniversario de su muerte, de la mano amable de Julio Cortazar.

She squeezed my hand a final time, pushed it away. . . . I went away bereft and unforgiven, and suffocating for want of any way to cry out the love I had not found words for while she searched my face. (204) Peter Matthiessen / Bone By Bone

After a long deliberation, and consulting my mom who's in it for All-The-Plays-in-2-Years Project, we will stick to the original plan: #MerryWives_2025 to be followed by Parts 1,2,3 of Henry VI. #HenryVI_2025 Perhaps we'll need a comedic turn before Richard III. Thanks, everyone- 🙂

V.4 -- Say what you will about Branagh but damn he has a way with Shakespearean lines. They trip so commonly and true out of him as if he's simply speaking. No translation necessary. (Emma pretty wonderful too.) #muchado_2025 youtu.be/UvU9GbaMY40?...
