Who Said …

The Page of Swords is one who likes to question, to gather information. Here we continue an occasional ongoing conversation …

swords11‘We are such stuff as dreams are made on.’

Right.

Who said that?

Shakespeare.

The writer?

Actually it was one of the characters in a play he wrote. A bloke called, Prospero.

Ah … an astrologer?

Probably a bit. A magician in any case …

Rabbits, hats, making stuff disappear … that kind of thing?

Not so much.

What then?

More like integrating his own shadow.

How do you know?

‘Cos he said so.

Oh?

Speaking of Caliban, who plotted to murder him, ‘…this thing of darkness, I acknowledge mine.’

Is that magical?

Some of us think so.
