Love this, in the same vein as Carol Ann Duffy's utterly brilliant collection, 'The World's Wife' ...

Gutted to have missed last week's #ShakespeareSunday and break my 54-week streak (dusts self off, and begins again).

... this week's theme: BIG & SMALL.

Having spent most of yesterday in the garden, this week's #shakespearesunday reflects our fears for a late frost!

As I've been saying for years, you don't read #shakespeare; he reads you!

This week's #shakespearesunday entry is a strong contender for my favourite single line in #Shakespeare.

I could go on forever about the beautiful 1,2,3,4-syllable structure and/or compare the line to Brutus' funeral opener!

The image represents Marc Antony's famous speech at the funeral of Julius Caesar (in Shakespeare's play). A man at a pulpit, facing us, is addressing a small crowd. Between speaker and audience lies a large stone coffin.

Many happy returns to Gillian Clarke, the first woman to hold the title of Wales' National Poet.

A poem to get you going? Try 'My Box' or 'The Hare' ...

Forget the 'comedies': this is the funniest scene in all #Shakespeare. And the play overall is brilliant, not least in the #hollowcrown.

Try the Archangel audio too, with Richard Griffiths as Falstaff.

We owe the word 'robot' (derived from Czech words associated with 'slavery' or 'forced labour') to Karel Čapek, born today.

How many jobs treat people like robots nowadays?
