And Shakespeare had some distincly non-feminist ideas about a woman's potential immortality stemming solely from her marriage, husband and progeny:<BR/><BR/>Look in thy glass and tell the face thou viewest<BR/>Now is the time that face should form another;<BR/>Whose fresh repair if now thou not renewest,<BR/>Thou dost beguile the world, unbless some mother.<BR/>For where is she so fair whose unear'd womb<BR/>Disdains the tillage of thy husbandry?<BR/>Or who is he so fond will be the tomb<BR/>Of his self-love, to stop posterity? <BR/>Thou art thy mother's glass and she in thee<BR/>Calls back the lovely April of her prime;<BR/>So thou through windows of thine age shalt see,<BR/>Despite of wrinkles this thy golden time.<BR/>But if thou live, remember'd not to be,<BR/>Die single and thine image dies with thee.<BR/><BR/>(Sonnet 3)<BR/><BR/>You, however, must be among the first people to look for immortal thoughts to spring from buying and eating a shawarma!Benthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11845712266620744382noreply@blogger.com
