How now! Where’s your master?

-First Lord

All’s Well That Ends Well     Act IV, Scene iii, Line 73

 

Since today’s line really doesn’t have too much going for it, I’ve decided to give you the line immediately previous to it. I think you’ll enjoy it more, and it really needs no context.

The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together: our virtues would be proud, if our faults whipt them not; and our crimes would despair, if they were not cherisht by our virtues.

There, that’s much better. And if you’d like to quote it, you can get away with using the first part – The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together. And this can be used infinitely.

It sounds almost Zenish, doesn’t it; sort of has that yin and yang thing going for it. Honestly, there’s nothing that can come off Will’s pen that surprises me with its breadth of wisdom and knowledge. Really, nothing.

Naturally, I decided that we needed a good web picture. The first is an interesting banana spider web found in Tennessee. The second is a rather conventional web found here in Connecticut. The first one seems to be of more mingled yarn than the second, but they're both nice webs.
