    I love your Hamlet quote.

    Your poems have a kind of unique weirdness to them that's totally awsome! I just love your works. They remind me of They Might Be Giants' songs, just a bit.

    You're absolutely right about the quote, but I just meant it in a whimsical sense. It's important to remember that words aren't perfect and never can be. Also, it serves as my little reminder to not take myself so seriously.

    Isn't your quote from Hamlet an expression of the meaninglessness of what he reads? It just seems an odd quote for something where you're supposed to enjoy what you read ...
