Act 5 Scene I.
When I was in high school, I read a version of Julius Caesar. I cheated back then, reading cliff notes. I hated it.... The story line was kind of difficult to keep up with and besides, girls were more important then school. I remember reading the last few pages after we were to have finished and finding myself amazed by one scene....it stuck out and, well I memorized it.
When you think about each day that we have, it's really a gift or an opportunity to take advantage of. My kids and their imagination remind me of this every day.... to be someone new... to pretend.. to imagine. You never know when its all going to be over...
Anyway, here's the line that I memorized... as best as I can remember it some twenty years later...
"If man were to know the end of this days business, there it come,
would it suffice him to know that this day will end?
Then the day be known. For if we meet again,
then we will smile.
If we do not, then our parting was well made.".
