Sticking My Neck Out, Again, Quoting/Blaming/Thanking Shakespeare (Part 3) - IMRAN™ In the previous two "scenes" ( https://ift.tt/hJANB57 ) - (and in my countless writings) - you will have been reminded of my weakness for strong word(s)/play! However, it is not just puns and double entendre that I love the bard's words for. There are even serious Shakespeare quotes about the head and neck. There is one about wishing ill on someone's throat. There's another one about throats that only voice lies (like some political cult figures). From my surgeon's perspective there is an apt one: “There is Throats to be cut, and Works to be done.” ― William Shakespeare, Henry V ! I do not quote Shakespeare much in my posts. However, his many inspiring turns of phrase, and verbal tapestries, often come to my mind at different times during the days of my life. With what I had recently been through, and with gratitude to God and all the prayers & love I receive, I repeated this one about "neck" to myself, once again... "Yield not thy neck to fortune's yoke, but let thy dauntless mind still ride in triumph over all mischance.” © 2023 IMRAN™ #IMRAN #Shakespeare #Cambridge #education #CambridgeUniversity #SainPaulsHighSchool #Karachi #literature #language #gratitude #wordplay #puns #inspiration #autobiography #PakistanSticking My Neck Out, Again, Quoting/Blaming/Thanking Shakespeare (Part 3) - IMRAN™ In the previous two "scenes" ( https://ift.tt/hJANB57 ) - (and in my countless writings) - you will have been reminded of my weakness for strong word(s)/play!
