    I am taking my mace and going home. You big dullard! Because your liege asked you to. Tell that to the priests. Do they follow the dead one or me, the live one?

    Where does the angry come from? What forests does it roam in, to and fro, to and fro? With a sing song tail that trails out into the nothing, a gathering of flames, unexpected but still gathering dust as if they were. Her Silence confronts the Angry. Well matched, they retire for the night. Shenanigans ensue but that is another story.

    I consulted BrainyQuotes before writing my fold, and from a quick scan of the quotes by Roger and Francis Bacon, I don't think either of them was Shakespeare.
