I need to re-read Macbeth so I can find the speech about the graves spitting up their dead. Or whichever play it is. Hell, time to find some portable versions and re-read Shakespeare. I bet they'd fit on my Palm.
That's not what making out sounds like -- unless I'm doing it wrong?

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Is it "And graves have yawned, and yielded up their dead"? That's Calpurnia's speech about omens in Julius Caesar. Which we spent some time on in school -- there are certainly other possibilities, but it came to mind so what the heck.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Now I'm earwormed with Theo and Cockroach's Julius Caesar rap from The Cosby Show.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Plus at least one poem title I can think of, "Out, Out" by Robert Frost.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Wow, lots of titles taken from the "Seven Ages of Man" speech in As You Like It.
Dear Book Writers, you may not allude to "All the world's a stage" until people stop using "Halleluah" in movies and TV shows. This should be a natural brake on both of you.

Of course it would be in Caesar, upping its claim to most quoted.
