Someone pointed out that the article says W.S. was 46 when the portrait was painted in 1610, thus putting a stake through the heart of my little rhyme. But W.S would be 46 only if ithe portrait was painted after his birthday on April 23. I've got a window of 3 months and 23 days in which it could be "Shakespeare alive at forty-five!" I favor a winter sitting until someone proves otherwise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581099872724683650.post-22983502665869133402009-03-11T09:53:00.000-05:002009-03-11T09:53:00.000-05:00Make that "Prof. Wells's comment ...

It's Shakespeare alive at forty-five! Why he even looks like he could be the author of all those plays and sonnets that bear his name.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
