Theme: The Mayan Prophecy

Quote: All:
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

Second Witch:
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the cauldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder’s fork, and blind-worm’s sting,
Lizard’s leg, and howlet’s wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble. …"MACBETH", Act IV, Scene I…

Quote:
"I have heard of your paintings too, well enough. God hath given you one face, and you make yourselves another.
You jig, you amble, and you lisp; you nickname God's creatures and make your wantonness your ignorance.
Go to, I'll no more on't! it hath made me mad.
I say, we will have no more marriages. Those that are married already - all but one - shall live; the rest shall keep as they are. To a nunnery, go. Exit!"

Nice to see this thread resurrected. I will get to it in the next few days. At least I understand what rainy bank holidays are (not that any holidays here are referred to as 'bank' holidays. We only have holidays for a reason - Christmas, Waitangi Day, Anzac, Queen's Birthday (held on some king's birthday), Labour Day, etc.
