Do you think the people who write Melrose Place consider themselves artists
and poets? Because this is the esteem in which the sort of things
Shakespeare wrote were held in. He didn't even bother to hold on to the
scripts, let alone consider publishing them. To Shakespeare his poetry, not
his drama, was his highbrow stuff - ironic considering that your average
Joe wouldn't be able to tell you what the Phoenix and the Turtle is about
(let alone that the turtle's a bird, not a turtle).
Could we even call his poems his Schindler's Lists (: ?
