Quote of the Week

  O God! methinks it were a happy life
  To be no better than a homely swain
  To set upon a hill, as I do now...
  So many hours must I tend my flock;
  So many hours must I take my rest;
  So many hours must I contemplate;
  So many hours must I sport myself;
  Ah, what a life were this, how sweet! how lovely!

-William Shakespeare, King Henry VI, 1623
