Title: All The World's A Stage Post by Beau on Dec 8th, 2009 at 7:46am
This is a novel I'm working on based on Jaque's speech from As You Like It. And I do like it this way.
"All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms; And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier, Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard, Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice, In fair round belly with good capon lin'd, With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances; And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon, With spectacles on nose and pouch on side; His youthful hose, well sav'd, a world too wide For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion; Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything." — Jaques (Act II, Scene VII, lines 139-166) His acts being is Heaven ages. It’s all an act. Are we under a spell. Is this Heaven here and now and the other areas we go places to plan what to do here. Is the Earth a space ship? Are all the planets Space craft just waiting for us to get it together so we can go forward and see the stars. Can Captain Jesse Caren Presley Command us out of this place. Does the Earth depend on the Sun or the Son which is all of us...we are each a Per Son. There are so few people on this Earth it is ridiculous when the actors drop their roles. The Stars are the Angels all trying to impress upon whoever is Jesu this time around that the time has come to move on. Jesu had to experience his humanity to make him a better leader. Now he sees that we all share the Fodder of G.O.D. All that is. Where the ones who were healed playing roles back then. Or was Jesus really greater than all the others. If we are all one then we are acting out our parts according to the divine director’s instructions. How many method actors out there who think they are their character? You are so much more than this member of the peephole you play here. |
