Folks,
My thanks to all who replied to my request for the name of the poet who
penned the lines about a shepherd carving his dial.
It was William Shakespeare's Henry VI, and Henry was musing on the fate of
princes and how it would be far better to be a shepherd. That's a very romantic
view of shepherding, and one not borne out by history, but that's another story,
for another place.
Again, my thanks.
Cheers, John |
