- "I hold the world
but as the world, Gratiano; .. A stage where every man
must play a part, and mine, a sad one," a line from Shakespeare's Merchant
of Venice uttered by Shylock (narrated by
yours truly), expressing the contempt he had for his
life, the one that of not his own choosing. A short line,
a simple line, a line you may read over once and never
think twice about it again, but to me, these strings of
words & letters somehow represent and define and me.
- ... I am haunted by them.
