Why,
it hath bay windows transparent as barricadoes, and the clearstories toward the
south-north are as lustrous as ebony; and yet complainest thou of obstruction?
Clown
Twelfth Night Act IV, scene
ii Line 38
And of course, barricades aren’t transparent, there is no
such direction as north-south, and clearstories are high window that are
supposed to let in light so that ‘lustrous as ebony’ doesn’t make much sense
either. But it’s Feste the clown talking, so you know that he’s going to be giving
you silly nonsense, don’t you? And his contradictions couldn't possibly make any sense. Could they?
If you zoom in on this picture of Lyman Hall's grave in Wallingford, CT you'll see that the writing on the side of it says
The state of Georgia having removed to Augusta the remains of Lyman Hall a signer of the Declaration of Independence and there erected a monument to his memory, the tablet originally covering his grave was in 1857 presented by William Dantignac to this state by whose order it is deposited in his native town.
So that this picture of the grave of Lyman Hall is, in fact, not the grave of Lyman Hall at all. Do you suppose Feste the clown had anything to do with this?
