Shakespeare for Dinner


My Lovely Portia


The quality of mercy is not strain'd,
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath.  It is twice blest:
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.

The merchant of Venice Act 4, scene1 - Shakespeare

I like Shakespeare so much that I named one of my dogs Portia after my favorite female character in The Merchant of Venice.  If I could, I would like to invite Shakespeare to a lovely dinner party.  I hope he would come and dazzle us all with his genius personality.
