Shakespeare Anagram: Richard III
Friday, June 15th, 2007Taking inspiration from the amazing anagram of the speech from Hamlet, I decided to try my own hand at anagramming Shakespeare. Here is my first attempt, taken from the first lines of King Richard III:
Now is the winter of our discontent
Made glorious summer by this sun of York;
And all the clouds that lour’d upon our house
In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.
Shift around the letters, and it becomes:
The too-sinful Gloucester (later – ouch! – dubbed Richard III), by odious puns on nouns, unkindly compares the momentous War of the Roses end to the foul-mood weather.
That was fun! Maybe I’ll make this a regular feature.
