If the dull substance of my flesh were thought,
Injurious distance should not stop my way;
For then despite of space I would be brought,
From limits far remote where thou dost stay.
No matter then although my foot did stand
Upon the farthest earth removed from thee;
For nimble thought can jump both sea and land
As soon as think the place where he would be.
But ah! thought kills me that I am not thought,
To leap large lengths of miles when thou art gone,
But that so much of earth and water wrought
I must attend time's leisure with my moan,
Receiving nought by elements so slow
But heavy tears, badges of either's woe.

Bart: Election next month. Your Labour friends can start lying Michael.
Michael: Do you think they'll get in?
Bart: Not this time, Bonar Law's got it all tied up. Wouldn't be a bad thing if they did: taste of office might help them grow up .... Suppose they did get in? What could they do? Cure unemployment?
Michael: They might, Bart.
Bart: I doubt it, and what else? Would they abolish the cinema? teach English women to cook? make us grow our own food? will they hang all dabblers in poison gas? destroy all bombing aeroplanes and submarines?
Michael: They could try.
Bart: And what about the possesive principle that you disapprove of? Would they abolish that? No, not on your life m'boy. No! All party politics are top dressing. We're ruled by inventors and by human nature.
Michael: Oh-hoo you have got it bad guv'ner.
Bart: But seriously, do you find reality in politics now?
Michael: Oh-hoo, do you find reality in anything now?
Bart: Income Tax, perhaps.
Michael: Such simple faith, it touches me.
Bart: Everything fine and splendid is off: no big schemes; no great principles; no far-sighted views; no great religion; no great art. Just a lot of little men in little hats.

Hello, World Wide Wonderland! Welcome to the personal site of monalipschitz. A collection of the bizarre, the insightful (hopefully) and other random things which are either of interest or mean something to me. In other words: an exercise in narcissism.
Persiflage - Also known as Persiflage on Entertainment, a place for me to air my numerous opinions on many things, but mainly focused on entertainment: television, films, books, poetry and theatre.
About - This section contains all that essential, and non-essential, information that may or may not interest you depending on how nosey you are. Everything appertaining to technical details of Shakespeare's Quill and the life and times of monalipschitz can be found here.
Sundry - Another name for my visitor section. This is where I have collected together various artistic endeavours, generally in the form of iconage, as well as other such life-enhancing things as trivia, quotes and hosting.
Exit - Does exactly what it says on the tin. A page by which you may like to leave Shakespeare's Quill and not just via my online chums pages, but message boards, celebrities and those all-important fanlistings. Oh and you can also contact me there too, if you are that way inclined.

Persiflage has been launched on the world, and just in time to catch Comic Relief Does Fame Academy. Is the world ready?
(25th February 2007)
Shakespeare's Quill has finally been launched. After nearly 6 months of procrastinating, work and frustrated hair-pulling the site is, at last, in a launch-able state. There's still more I hope to add, but I hope there's something of vague time-killing interest to some.
