IN PRAISE OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

(23 April 1564-23 April 1616)


In a galore of words beginning with the alphabet 'S'!

 

 

The God-SENT English Playwright, Poet, and Actor William SHAKESPEARE’s ever-SHINING, SHIMMERING, SPARKLING, SPLENDID, and SCINTILLATING STORIES and SENSATIONAL dramas of SUPERIOR and SUPERLATIAVE STUFF, STANDARDS, SPECIFICATIONS, and STOCK couched in a grand STYLE STILL have a SAY, STAY and SWAY over the masses, STRIKING a SIGNIFICANT STEEL-STRONG chord of understanding and appreciation, and always STEALING the SHOW that SINGLED him out for a SPECIAL SPACE in the literary world. A SLEW of his SOULFUIL works of different SHAPES, SHADES, SKY-SCRAPING STANDARDS, and SHARP and SUPERIOR SEMANTIC nuances STILL enjoy people’s SPONTANEOUS recognition and SUPPORT. SOFTHEARTED, he SIMPLY STARTED from the SCRATCHES to SCALE peaks of fame through his writings. His buzzword was “START, SET in motion the SYMPATHETIC thoughts, keep SCRIPTING, and never STOP.” His pieces proved to be of SIGNICANT SKILLS of SORTS packed, and SPELL-bound for people in general, and his fans to be SPECIFIC, to SIFT through. A SWEET for them to taste! His would be a STEADY STREAM of words gathering perennially STABLE, and ever-SOARING and SPIRALLING STEAM. The SERIES of his dramas have always had the SERIOUS and SUBSTANTIAL SUPPORT of people across the world. SPRINGING SURPRISES through his theatre characters (who did STELLAR performances) was the norm with him. A STOREHOUSE of words and terms, he was one with a unique STANDING, STATUS, and STARDOM. Yes, the SEA of his SPLENDOUR is there even today for all to SEE. More than the SERENE SCENIC beauty, his dramatic characters SPOKE volumes of his high SPIRITS in crafting classy dramas (SOME SENTIMENTAL ones too) and STAGGERING dialogues with his SPOTLIGHT SIGNATURE. Shakespeare’s STAMP and SYMBOL are unmatched. His was a STUPENDOUS task to pen many plays. His SKY-high reputation needs no further STRETCHING or elaboration. One may perhaps find SOME ‘SIMILARS’ of SHAKESPEARE, but not persons with the SAME caliber. Normally, one can climb even to the highest SUMMIT but can't STAY or remain there for long.  SHAKESPEARE did both! He had many SIGNAL achievements at his credit in his field. He STEMMED the rot in the traditional SYSTEM of writing by SHUNNING SUPERSTITIONS with marked SUCCESS. He gave many clues and advice to people on how to be on the SAFER SIDE. 


SHAKESPEARE'S writings SUGGEST he had a PSYCHE SUFFICIENT enough to produce SCHOLARLY SILVER lining pieces in different SECTIONS of human thinking processes and activities, and SENSIBILITIES in SEVERAL SECTORS and SEGMENTS of human life. 


Even the SKY  was not the limit for his fertile imagination and his SCHOLARLY SCRUTINY. The SCANNING, STUDY, SEARCH, and SURVEY of terminology he he did for the purpose of his works was remarkable. Yes, one could SEE a perfect SYNC and fantastic SYNERGY between his thought processes and outputs.


SURELY, SOME dialogues in his plays are STUNNING. He would avoid anything that had the SCOPE of SCALING down viewers'/listeners' interest even to a SMALL extent. 


To SUM up, he had a practical attitude and approach, and was a pragmatic SOLUTION finder.



SALUTES to him!
