  • I think a lifetime will never be enough to discuss the above - which is why we have been debating for the last few hundred years. The last time i heard one of his sonnets spoken was in the garden of Ann Hathoway's cottage. They have built a little willow shelter and have linked it up to a speaker. All you have to do is press the buttons and hear the sonnets or excerpts of plays being read out by actors. Extremely moving and brings tears to your eyes.
    By the way happy birthdayx
