STORIZEN CONTRIBUTE
PART 3
Shakespeare, how she
had to sit with a
dictionary initially and
found them hard to
read, and how
gradually she began
enjoying reading
them, to the point of
getting addicted. She
was smitten by his
word prowess and
bowled over by his
quotes. She had
quoted a few, which
after reading, seemed
to me like I was
reading Latin or
French, but were
essentially English.
Being a poor reader
myself, my respect for
her increased tenfold.
Curious, I opened
another google page
and searched for
Shakespeare's quotes
with an explanation.

Just then my mobile
vibrated. It was a
message from
Anamika.
Thanks for visiting me
today. Felt really good.
I was about to reply
when I had an idea. I
scanned the page I had
just opened.
There is nothing either
good or bad but
thinking makes it so.
I waited to see if she
recognized this
‘Shakespearean quote’
After a few moments
delay, she replied
Whoa! Looks like
someone has been
through my blog. Well
done.
So she was sincere in
what she wrote.
I can no other answer
make but thanks, and
thanks and ever thanks
It took me no time to
guess that this was
another one of
Shakespeare's quotes.
When words fail, music
speaks, I quoted
Shakespeare again.
The earth has music
for those who listen.
Whoa! I was
impressed. She was
quoting Shakespeare
off- hand while I was
struggling to keep up
with my copy-pasting.
If music is the food of
love, play on, I wrote.
