Breathing life into a stone...
Apr. 23rd, 2011 09:17 amI have seen a medicine
That's able to breathe life into a stone,
Quicken a rock, and make you dance canary
With spritely fire and motion, whose simple touch
Is powerful to araise King Pippen, nay,
To give great Charlemain a pen in 's hand
And write to her a love-line.
- William Shakespeare, born April 23, 1564 died April 23, 1616, from All's Well That Ends Well Act 2, scene 1, 72–78
