Horoscopes for 11-7-2023
Bonos dies, Sir Toby: for as the old hermit of Prague, that never saw pen and ink, very wittily said to a niece of King Gorboduc, “That that is is”; so I, being Master Parson, am Master Parson; for what is “that” but “that,” and “is” but “is”?
The Clown in Shakespeare’s 12th Night (IV.ii.4)
Horoscopes for 11-7-2023
Out of context? Higher be the first appearance of “It is what it is.”
“for what is “that” but “that,” and “is” but “is”?
In context, might be even funnier as that’s the Clown in 12th Night trying to talk with a madman.
Running gags, in print form are also difficult, at best. Last week’s throwback wasn’t as successful as I thought it should be. Moving forward, I started the notes for this week during baseball season, and it shows I was more interested in looking at the window dressings than the game itself. Not sure what that means.
