Re: Re: Presta I hope I can call you that
Sure! It's my name. We all (I think) feel we could have done better, at times, whether it's true or not. Oh, and you are welome. Bacon has been suggested as being the author we know as Shakespeare. Many disagree. I have no clue. It's always fun to speculate.

Re: Presta I hope I can call you that
Your delight then becomes mine too. You shower me with sparkling encomiums which I often think do I or do not deserve, because there always runs an undercurrent that I could have done better. Accept my whole-hearted gratitude and thanks. I too am a fan of your writings. Bacon was considered the meanest as also the most intelligent (brilliant) of all English essayists. But I don't think he wrote on Shakespeare. Now, I am, what should I say, short of words?

Re: Kabu
You too are a lady I admire and revere. So also Sir Wiley. You are kind, good, and such a prolific reader and writer. I tip my hat that you consider me so.

You have made this a delight to read, and is technically on point. The Bard himself would be pleased, I think. And who can really say where truth ends and lies begin? Or in this case, which is worse. Bacon himself is interesting. Searching for the Light, excusing lies of poets [for the sake of art] perhaps. And did he write Shakespeare? You have captured it all very well, I think. But what do I know? LOL!

excellently done. Poor Friar, perhaps a little " White" lie is sometimes in everyone's best interest.
