This bust of Shakespeare, is in the very pretty garden of St Mary Aldernabbury Gardens, behind Guildhall. A request from Jo. Enjoy.

Mo, thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteI can finally read it properly.
"So worthy a friend" indeed.
Isn't it a stroke of luck that they actually did this!
Nice :-)!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I've been looking for this!!! LOL. Everytime I go there I look for the bust. Come to find out I've always been in the wrong garden!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen this statue in many years! I'm also glad you are showing it to us.
ReplyDeleteA nice reminder of what this fine writer contributed to the polishing of the English language. We seem incapable of producing such sparkling words in our time.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree that I never read Shakespeare's works to the end.
ReplyDeleteWell all I can say is thank goodness for John Heminge and Henry Condell! I love watching Shakespeares plays - one should always see them first, then read them. We are so much the richer for them!
ReplyDeleteThanks for a fascinating post.
es excelente, bien dicho
ReplyDeleteI wonder what he would think of todays 'texting'? u r awsum, mo!!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if 'little Louis' (:-) realizes that Shakespeare coined something like 8000 (sic) new words and phrases, many of which we use today. That may make him praise Bill even more.
ReplyDeleteHomeric.
