Tuesday, September 11th. William Shakespeare's Thought For The Day:


"...worse than the great'st infection that
e'er was seen or read!"

The Winter's Tale, Act I, Scene 2, Lines 423-424.

1. Yes it was, Aristus.

My words cannot adequately describe the feelings I
felt that Tuesday morning,six years ago today.

But Will's words do.

Thanks so much for posting this.

6. My dear Aristus...
Your images on this day always take my breath away...

Last year's did as well...

And the quote could not be more perfect...

It's heartbreaking...

10. Another Shakespeare verse that came to mind on that day
When I thought about the fundamentalist terrorists who justified the senseless, tragic and horrific events of that day by perversely invoking the name of Islam

The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose.
An evil soul producing holy witness
Is like a villain with a smiling cheek,
A goodly apple rotten at the heart:
O, what a goodly outside falsehood hath!
Merchant of Venice Act 1 Scene III
