just finished reading James Parton's excellent narrative on Ira Eaker titled Air Force Spoken Here.

Now I'm going to read stuff like:
Hamlet Act 1 scene 5.

Hamlet
- Where wilt thou lead me? Speak. I'll go no further.
Ghost
- Mark me.
Hamlet
I will.
Ghost
My hour is almost come
When I to sulfurous and tormenting flames
Must render up myself.


Hamlet
Alas, poor ghost!
Ghost
Pity me not, but lend thy serious hearing
To what I shall unfold.
Hamlet
Speak. I am bound to hear.
Ghost
So art thou to revenge when thou shalt hear
Hamlet
What?
Ghost
I am thy father's spirit,
Doomed for a certain term to walk the night,
And for the day confined to fast in fires....

Going to be some heavy reading.

Markus
