Must I hold a candle to my shames?
-- William... Must I hold a candle to my shames?
-- William Shakespeare, "The Merchant of Venice"
My dear People.
My dear Bagginses and Boffins,... My dear People.
My dear Bagginses and Boffins, and my dear Tooks and Brandybucks,
and Grubbs, and Chubbs, and Burrowses, and Hornblowers, and Bolgers,
Bracegirdles, Goodbodies, Brockhouses and Proudfoots. Also my good

Too early seen unknown,... My only love sprung from my only hate!
Too early seen unknown, and known too late!
-- William Shakespeare, "Romeo and Juliet"
