"O villain, villain, smiling, damned villain!"

Hamlet (I, v, 106)

 

 

 

"Give me my robe, put on my crown; I have

Immortal longings in me."

Antony and Cleopatra (V, ii, 282-283)

 

 

 

Hamlet:

A little more than kin, and less than kind.

Hamlet Act 1, scene 2, 64–67

 

 

"He's mad that trusts in the tameness of a wolf, a horse's health,

a boy's love, or a whore's oath."

King Lear (III, vi, 19-21)

 

 

 

"Nothing can come of nothing: speak again."

King Lear (I, i, 92)

LOL@ your quotes of concoctions.

 

"Better a witty fool than a foolish wit" eh ngonge?.

 

btw - how did you cone up with all those quotes?

and which of Shakespeare's many plays are your favourite?

[NGONGE]

^^ Adeero google waa faxal, saaxib.

Hamlet, Othello and Macbeth are the only ones I fully read (I read bits of others).

 

It wasn't hard to find a quote that fits a Somali photo. I like the Faroole one the best (most SSC poeple think exactly like that). Siilaanyo is obvious and the first one with the three sitting together had to have a quote from the witches.

[SayidSomal]

Somali poetry is more apt to Somali warlords - here are couple examples:

 

the killing happens, the destruction of the lands

creation's burial, refugees' flight from the country

as outlaws pass among the people long suffering weak wretches

they enter the shade of the dead wood

the forest's been destroyed by scorching sand

rotten brush, dense dead thicket

silvered tree stumps, calls of help help

somebody help the women, the children, the frail

licked by the red hot spears

the tank with lust to launch at even unpeopled places

the playful gun sight, the hollow stocked gun

the Kalashnikov, the bomb, the shortened jeep

the rolling mortars descending from the sky

napalm peeling stripping your burnt skin

the anti-tank P10, ricocheting ring

the RPG7, the smaller bazooka

and the ammunition belt at the ready

the aloes with their troubles and painful injury

standing unmilked and drinking their fill

ready for destruction sent by death

and guns and gun powder of satan, it's not in your interest

this was the testament then of Koofil and Doofil

the ones I sent to hell and whose orders I refused

the lackey dogs

and those of their ilk saying: here boy

you countered the contempt of their fathers

with it will not be tried on me

that they now drag you down from there

go it's not in your interest

[SayidSomal]

Oh Dahir! Shatter not my newly mended heart,

Force me not to the refugee life,

Where cold, hunger, and misery resides.

For I have tasted the comfort of home. Oh Dahir!

 

Oh Dahir! Kill not the surviving heroes

Who miraculously escaped death.

Crush not the handicapped ones,

For they have barely recovered. Oh Dahir!

 

Oh Dahir! Young man with the gun,

Whom are you shooting? Me?

For there is no enemy in sight.

Have you ever seriously wondered?

What became of our brave comrades?

Whatever happened to all our buildings? Oh Dahir!

1992 Burco

Brilliant. Maybe you should organise your own play.

suggestion: bring her to the play (don't forget this romeon and juliet play

) instead of going to the movies with an ice cream as was suggested by others

What's with this yaa Sayid? If I'm busy, I'm busy

[Somalina]

lol@xamari..I was wearing the Jean Lafont eye glasses and was sitting in the front row next to the hot @%%^^$@ adonis wearing the beige fedora. Btw great show, my date enjoyed it as well, so thank you for that...

 

Btw, will there be a show in the fall? I just might be in the neighborhood and as a former thespian would like to drop by sometime.
