On Episode III:
A tedious brief scene of young Anakin,
And his love Padme; very tragical mirth.
Merry and tragical! tedious and brief!
That is, hot ice and wonderous strange snow!
How shall we find the concord of this discord?
A movie there is, my lord, some two hours long
Which is as brief as I have known a show;
But by two hours, my lord, it is too long,
Which makes it tedious: for in all the show
There is not one word apt, one player fitted:
And tragical, my noble lord, it is;
For Anakin therein the darkside doth choose:
Which when I saw project'd, I must confess,
Made mine eyes water, but more merry tears
The passion of loud laughter never shed.
On gardening:
Some are born gardening, some achieve gardening, some have gardening thrust upon them.
