400th Anniversary of Shakespeare

For the occasion I attended
participated in a roundtable reading of
Much Ado About Nothing

Act I scene 1
reading as the messenger
without expecting it
- without looking for it -
a haiku moment delivered
to me by the 14th line:

in the figure
of a lamb the feats
of a lion


the feats of a lion
from the figure
of a lamb


I read these 11 words from the Bard and I'm seeing Donatello's David.

0ver 400 years later, davidic perceptions rising from the pen of a literary lion.


The pen is mightier than the sword
