Interesting feature/list in the Hartford Courant

I read this all the way through without stopping.

I got a kick out of things I was at (Harvard-Yale) and people I knew (Tom Erhardt).

Rhody: Check out Nos. 51, 64, 87 and 92.

A gold star to anyone who can correct the quote in No. 22 and give a source.

 

"We few, we happy few,we band of brothers,
For he today that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother."

Shakespeare
Henry V, Act IV, Scene 3

 

wow. Dave, very impressive. You sure you're a sports writer?

 

I think Dave's earned a few "gold stars" for his writing too.

I haven't read the whole article, but this is a cool idea. I did a small 10-item historical thing like this once and really enjoyed the research. I know readers usually like these kind of lists.

 

Nah, just a kindred soul.

 

"Who is't that says so?
"My cousin Kindred?"

 

You may partake of any thing we say:
We speak no treason, man: we say the king
Is wise and virtuous, and his noble queen
Well struck in years, fair, and not jealous;
We say that Shore's wife hath a pretty foot,
A cherry lip, a bonny eye, a passing pleasing tongue;
And that the queen's kindred are made gentle-folks:
How say you sir? Can you deny all this?


-- Richard III, Act I, Scene I

 

Ya know, somehow I just related the St. Crispin's Day to an understaffed Football Friday.

"The fewer men, the greater share of honor."

 

"Your daughter and the Moor are making the beast with two backs."
--Othello.
