I think this is pointing to most people not speaking in complete sentences. If one carefully transcribes conversation, it's full of half starts, fragments, sounds etc.
So glad I've heard someone else say that Shakespeare ought to be watched/heard not read!!! I've thought that for ages! Love your videos by the way!! :-)
SONNET 18 Shall I compare thee to a summer's day ? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimm'd; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimm'd; But thy eternal summer shall not fade Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st; Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st; So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

I still think about this all these years later.
Speak in thoughts?!

What a marvellously instructive lecture, and the reading of the sonnet was of the highest standard.
Ben is great!
Absolutely wonderful!
SONNET 18
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day ?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st;
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
thanks, mate.
This is superb!
Thank you 😊
There are play's in op? And if there are, where? Thank you for you're time. Have a nice day.

It’s probably just me, but I think this is a bit sappy. My favorite is Sonnet 130 and the way it overturned the poetic clichés of the day.
If Mark Zuckerberg took literature instead of computer science.
Nailed it 🤣🤣
