Something of Myself
Wednesday, November 03, 2004
This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle,
This earth of Majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other-Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war.
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in a silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands;
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.
(W Shakespeare, Richard II, 2:1)
