Shakespeare in Love


Still keeping with the Shakespeare theme today... a gorgeous love poem from Carol Ann Duffy.


Anne Hathaway - Carol Ann Duffy 

‘Item I gyve unto my wife my second best bed …’
(from Shakespeare’s will)

The bed we loved in was a spinning world
of forests, castles, torchlight, clifftops, seas
where we would dive for pearls. My lover’s words
were shooting stars which fell to earth as kisses
on these lips; my body now a softer rhyme
to his, now echo, assonance; his touch
a verb dancing in the centre of a noun.
Some nights, I dreamed he’d written me, the bed
a page beneath his writer’s hands. Romance
and drama played by touch, by scent, by taste.
In the other bed, the best, our guests dozed on,
dribbling their prose. My living laughing love –
I hold him in the casket of my widow’s head
as he held me upon that next best bed.

  1. I got my already programmed and blanked ATM card to withdraw the maximum of €1,000 daily for a maximum of 20 days. I am so happy about this because I got mine last week and I have used it to get €20,000. Mrs Aileen is giving out the card just to help the poor and needy though it is illegal but it is something nice and she is not like other scam pretending to have the blank ATM cards. And no one gets caught when using the card. get yours from her. Just send her an email via; ( aileenbeacker@gmail.com )


    Ich habe meine bereits programmierte und leere Geldkarte, mit der ich maximal 1000 € täglich für maximal 20 Tage abheben kann. Ich bin total begeistert, denn ich habe sie letzte Woche bekommen und schon 20.000 € abgehoben. Frau Aileen verteilt die Karte, um Armen und Bedürftigen zu helfen. Obwohl es illegal ist, ist es eine nette Geste, und sie ist nicht wie andere Betrüger, die vorgeben, Blanko-Bankkarten zu besitzen. Niemand wird bei der Benutzung der Karte erwischt. Fordern Sie Ihre Karte bei ihr an. Schreiben Sie ihr einfach eine E-Mail an: (aileenbeacker@gmail.com).
