"Your tale, Sir, would cure deafness!" These words, spoken by the lovely character Miranda, listening to her father Prospero telling her of the political misfortunes of their previous life, apply to almost anything Shakespeare put on stage!Whenever I try to review a favourite play by the Bard, I inevitably have to reread, to ponder, to think.

I like this word. It generates a very good feeling in my heart. This word often makes me think of someone who has a quality to face something difficult with the strength of heart / mind / body... Does not take me much to feel a respect and admiration for this person... I also come to know that the word
