Description: The Darling Buds of May is a novella by British writer H. E. Bates published in 1958. It was the first of a series of five books about the Larkins, a rural family from Kent. The title of the book is a quote from William Shakespeare's Sonnet 18: Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer’s lease hath all too short a date; It was later adapted into a British comedy drama television series, first broadcast between April 1991 and April 1993.
Description: Shakespeare - "Alas, poor Yorick. I knew him, Horatio. A fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. He hath bore me on his back a thousand times, and now how abhorred in my imagination it is". This is the iconic monologue spoken by Hamlet in Act V, Scene I of William Shakespeare’s play, where he holds the skull of Yorick, the late King’s jester. Hamlet reminisces about Yorick’s vibrant personality and physical affection, before confronting the grotesque reality of decay, which serves as a meditation on mortality and the inevitability of death for all people, regardless of status.
