I just got home from work.. and I keep thinking about this all day, I watched Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium and this quote was so... amazing... beautiful.. I nearly cried.. well, I did.. but shh, don't tell anyone!
"When King Lear dies in Act V, do you know what Shakespeare has written? He's written "He dies." That's all, nothing more. No fanfare, no metaphor, no brilliant final words. The culmination of the most influential work of dramatic literature is "He dies." It takes Shakespeare, a genius, to come up with "He dies." And yet every time I read those two words, I find myself overwhelmed with dysphoria. And I know it's only natural to be sad, but not because of the words "He dies." but because of the life we saw prior to the words"
I have never read this, but this is amazing, it gripped me up and spun me...
