Back to English, why not?

These days I am working in one conference using the language of Shakespeare, which is sometimes surprising hard for me. It is like this language is always somewhere in the background but I never really study it seriosly enough...
So this week should do some good.

and here...for reflection...a bit of poetry, as I am reading a lot in the search for precision...
----------------------------------
Everything -
a bumptious, stuck-up word.
It should be written in quotes.
It pretends to miss nothing,
to gather, hold, contain, and have.
While all the while it's just
a shred of gale.


Szymborska
