Time is of the Essence
"Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore,
So do our minutes hasten to their end;
Each changing place with that which goes before,
In sequent toil all forwards do contend.
Nativity, once in the main of light,
Crawls to maturity, wherewith being crown'd,
Crooked elipses 'gainst his glory fight,
And Time that gave doth now his gift confound.
Time doth transfix the flourish set on youth
And delves the parallels in beauty's brow,
Feeds on the rarities of nature's truth,
And nothing stands but for his scythe to mow:
And yet to times in hope my verse shall stand,
Praising thy worth, despite his cruel hand."
-Sonnet Sixty

A Midsummer Night's Dream
Yesterday: Midsummer Night's Dream auditions! Yay! We will get the results within the next few days... can't wait!
The Huntington Library
Thursday of last week devoted itself to the fieldtrip of our Shakespearian group to go to... (drum roll, please)
.... The Huntington Library!
There, we saw some of Shakespeare's first published scripts, and a beautiful, life-like, statue of Puck. We also saw the original painting of the famous actress, Sarah Siddons, who was famous for playing Hamlet, and all the leading roles in Shakespeare's plays (not with him, of course). The "Library" was owned by Henry Huntington, and covered with his relics for 207 acres. We visited the Shakespeare garden, which was placed right outside of the main estate, which is now used as the showroom for the art gallery. I will be posting the main pictures later.
