Hello!

Which section is Literature?


edit....upon actually reading the description, I am to understand that Literature is not yet included?

edit 2
OK OK, now that I've calmed down and understand what's happening here in my little world, I would like to read Section 5, parts 9 and 10.

edit 3
So now I noticed that Section XI is actually printed as IX. A typo! I believe.(am I not the perceptive one?)

Greetings and welcome to my world! Yes, literature will come as a later project. I will assign you Section 5 of Shakespeare. Yes, IX should be XI, (and it comforts me to know other people besides me make mistakes, and can make things right!). :shock:
I believe you are familiar with Colonel Ingersoll, the great agnostic, the magnificent orator. So you know, he doesn't hold back on his praise or his criticism. Enjoy!

I am really looking forward to this.

PL Notes Section 2
What a glorious exchange indeed!
I love this line: "He put his scenery in his lines." And I would add that, unlike many a verbose writer, it didn't take him reams of words to do it.

Here a few little things you could attend to.
4:47 And during a period, you say peerot.
6:38 untraversed, you say untraver
9:46-48 Volume drops to a whisper
12:29 added to all that was written before, to is clipped out

PL Notes Section 8
Few can rise to Ingersoll's level of praise, eh! But what does he mean by this? To Shakespeare, "giving was hoarding—sowing was harvest—and waste itself the source of wealth."
:20 End of Intro should read "Lecture 1 - Shakespeare, Part 16
I suspect you recorded this before I finalized the Intro and Outro. Sorry about that.

I was perplexed by this myself. But I think Ingersoll means that Shakespeare's creativity was boundless, inexhaustible. That the usual rules for an artist did not apply and that he gained in all his generosity.

PL Notes Section 05
4:04 should say Part 10
10:42 and thereupon makes up his mind to die upon her grave, you say makes upon his mind.

Interesting take on Shakespeare, and interestingly read. Thank you.

He is such a great read. Almost like your favorite journalist-article writer in the local paper from long long ago.
