QUOTATION FOR THE DAY
“In the caldron boil and bake; Eye of newt, and toe of frog, Wool of bat, and tongue of dog, Adder’s fork, and blind-worm’s sting, Lizard’s leg, and owlet’s wing; For a charm of powerful trouble, Like a hell-broth boil and bubble,
Double, double toil and trouble.”
William Shakespeare
(1564-1616)
