Mark the music.
- For do but note a wild and wanton herd,
- Or race of youthful and unhandled colts,
- Fetching mad bounds, bellowing and neighing loud,
- Which is the hot condition of their blood;
- If they but hear perchance a trumpet sound,
- Or any air of music touch their ears,
- You shall perceive them make a mutual stand,
- Their savage eyes turn'd to a modest gaze
- By the sweet power of music: therefore the poet
- Did feign that Orpheus drew trees, stones and floods;
- Since nought so stockish, hard and full of rage,
- But music for the time doth change his nature.
- The man that hath no music in himself,
- Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
- Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils;
- The motions of his spirit are dull as night
- And his affections dark as Erebus:
- Let no such man be trusted. Mark the music.
The Merchant of Venice – Act 5, Scene 1. Lines: 77-95.

Great blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers?
I'm planning to start my own site soon but I'm a little
lost on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free platform like Wordpress
or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I'm totally confused .. Any tips? Appreciate it!
