first line of Shakespeare
Last week a book arrived in the mail from David Warne DeGraff called How To Teach Your Children Shakespeare. I took its first suggestion and had Sofia And-Lucia
repeat "I know a bank where the wild thyme blows" over and over again
until they had it memorized. The line is from Midsummer Night's Dream.
Then I showed them pictures of wild thyme online so they would know what
they were talking about. Yesterday I took them to the Highline in
Chelsea. We were walking along and we noticed thyme growing next to the
path. I said, "Look girls, this path we are walking down is like a river
and there's wild thyme blowing on the banks." Sofia got excited and
said, "Grandpa's book has come alive!"
