Later, I came to see that Mr Dickens and Mr Wordsworth were thinking of men like me when they wrote their words. But most of all, I believe that William Shakespeare was. Mind you, I cannot always make sense of what he says, but it will come.
It seems to me the less he said, the more beauty he made. Do you know what sentence of his I admire the most? It is, 'The bright day is done, and we are for the dark'. I wish I´d known those words on the day I watched those German troops land, planeload after planeload of them - and come off ships down in the harbour! All I could think of was, 'Damn them, damn them', over and over again. If I could have thought the words, 'The bright day is done, and we are for the dark', I'd have been consoled somehow and ready to go out and ready to deal with circumstances - instead of my heart sinking to my shoes.
