Things We Owe to Shakespeare

Over Labor Day weekend Husband and I took another trip down to Ashland, Oregon.  This time around we stayed overnight so that we would have time to attend a show in the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.  We saw Love's Labor Lost, one of the plays that I we were not familiar with.  It is a comedy and we really enjoyed it!  In honor of our trip I thought I'd share this little find:


I don't know who the original credit for this lovely little tidbit goes to, but I love it.  Shakespeare is certainly not my specialty, but I'm not surprised how many phrases we owe to him.

I've been working on planning my syllabus for the freshman writing course that I am teaching this fall.  I'll have lots of thoughts about that coming soon!
