Addendum to "A Thought on Birth"

Upon further reflection, I think perhaps King Lear had it right a few hundred years ago: 

     When we are born, we cry that we are come 
     To this great stage of fools . . .

The king had reason for his misanthrophy, even if I don't.

  2. Wait a second. "English Teacher-ish"? Did I just prove your point about a great stage of fools?

  3. Who ever said you couldn't make up words? I do it all the time, especially in "English" class. But MUST "English Teacher-ish" have such a negative connotation . . . ?
