S stands for Shakespeare.

William Shakespeare  1564-1616  

Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon. Warwickshire.

 He married Anne Hathaway and they had three children, Susanna and twins Hamnet and Judith.

 A successful career ensues in London between 1585-1592 .

 He was a noted writer and actor, then  part owner of a playing company. Amongst his many famous and well known plays is The Taming of the Shrew.

As well as this being played on the stage many times there have been several movies made of it.

 My all time favourite has to be the version made in 1967 starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, they were well suited to the characters they played as, probably the whole world knew about their much publisized, volatile marriage;   as were the two protagonists in the play, Katerina and Petruchio.

Petruchio.

Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor acting in one of their fabulous SCENES in The Taming of the SHREW.     

I won't write any more about this play as I have featured it before so, as I'm rather fond of logical quotations I thought I'd share a few of

  WILL SHAKESPEARE'S, with you.  

'SOME are born great,
  SOME achieve  greatness
 and SOME
have greatness
 thrust upon them'.
 (Twelfth Night).

To thine own SELF be true,
And it must follow as,
the night,
the day,
thou can'st be true.

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 to short a date.

And so  as I complete my finish SLANT on the letter 'S'

I have to confess I am STRUGGLING to write at present,

SO much to cope with and feeling SO SHATTERED all

the time. I hope you all can bear with me until I get my 

Mojo back..

Thanks to the SUPERDOOPER Denise Nesbitt for devising 

ABCW and the SAGACIOUS Roger for doing what he does

 too! Also our thanks go out to the SPONTANEOUS team

 of helpers who assist Roger with the visits,

Best wishes to all.
