Absolute Shakespeare - plays, quotes, summaries, essays... Poezija Frangiskana ta' D Mintoff Hija ligi tal-hajja taghna li ahna, il-hin kollu, niehdu xi haga. l-ghajxien taghna huwa msejjes fuq dak li taghtina n-natura. Is-sahha taghna trid l-arja tas-sema. Il-qamha ta' l-eghlieqi, l-ilma tal-widien. Ghalhekk ahna ma nistghu naghtu xejn hlief lilna nfusna. Rigal lejlet tieg flus lil tallab ktieb lil student ward lil marid... huma biss turija taghna nfusna. Naraw fis-socjetà l-qasma bejn dawk li 'ghandhom' u dawk li 'm'ghandhomx'. U nisimghu lil ta' l-ewwel jaghdbu ghax dawk li m'ghandhomx huma ngrati. Inhosshom mugugha bl-imgiba ta' dawk li 'm'ghandhomx'. U bejniethom jghidu: "tmajtu u libbistu - ara kif hallasni!" L-ingratitudni hija haga ta' min jistmerra. Turi kefrija ta' qalb. Imma l-bicca l-kbira ta' dawk li jgorru fuq l-ingratitudni ma jkunux taw lilhom infushom. Jahsbu li r-rigal, il-ward, il-ktieb jigbed il-hajr. Meta niehdu xi haga nifirhu Alla dejjem jaghtina, ghalhekk igibilna l-ferh U Alla huwa l-aktar qrib taghna waqt li naghtu lilna nfusna. Meta wiehed jiehu, jifrah. Jaghtih lilu nnifsu.
Words and Phrases Coined by Shakespeare Words and Phrases Coined by Shakespeare NOTE: This list (including some of the errors I originally made) is found in several other places online. That's fine, but I've asked that folks who want this on their own sites mention that I am the original compiler. For many English-speakers, the following phrases are familiar enough to be considered common expressions, proverbs, and/or clichés. All of them originated with or were popularized by Shakespeare. I compiled these from multiple sources online in 2003. How many of these are true coinages by "the Bard", and how many are simply the earliest written attestations of a word or words already in use, I can't tell you. A few words are first attested in Shakespeare and seem to have caused extra problems for the typesetters. The popular book Coined by Shakespeare acknowledges that it is presenting first attestations rather than certain inventions. Words like "anchovy", "bandit", and "zany" are just first attestations of loan-words. Back to Ed's
To Err is Human: Typos in Literature on AbeBooks The Good Earth Pearl S. Buck The first through third printings contain an error on line 17 of page 100 - "flees" should read "fleas". Most readers find typographical errors to be one of life's little annoyances, like being stuck at a traffic light when in a hurry. For others, the publishing of a spelling or grammatical error is one of the most grievous mistakes imaginable. I personally enjoy a particularly silly error, and if it's done right, see it as a value-added perk to a book. Book collectors may also see typographical errors in a positive light, but for an entirely different reason. Most typos are of little consequence - adding or removing pluralization, causing non-agreement in tenses, or the like. Whoops. Anthony Adverse by Hervey Allen, 1933 This edition is marked by several errors such as the misspelling of Xavier (“Xaxier”) on page 352, swapping “ship” for “shop” on page 1086, and repeating the word “found” on page 397.
