Though she be but little……………………
Helena, Act 3 Scene 2
Oh, when she’s angry, she is keen and shrewd!
She was a vixen when she went to school.
And though she be but little, she is fierce.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Look how far………..
“Look how far that little candle sends its light! That’s the way a good deed shines in a naughty world.”
Portia to Nerissa “The Merchant of Venice” Act 5, Scene 1
About
My wife, bless her tells me that I am rapidly becoming, or perhaps that should read have become a “Grumpy old fart”, so what better forum to spread my doom, gloom and paranoia than WordPress. I also have a love of old pictures, postcards and Edwardian Actresses, in particular Miss Gabrielle Ray which I hope to share at regular intervals. As my collection has grown I have set up another blog which contains only pictures of Miss Ray. Gabrielle Ray Thank you for viewing and comments are welcome.
