Only to stick it in their children’s sight
For terror, not to use—in time the rod
More mocked than feared—so our decrees,
Dead to infliction, to themselves are dead,
And liberty plucks justice by the nose,
The baby beats the nurse, and quite athwart
Goes all decorum. (MfM, I.iii) #ShakespeareSundays

Oft expectation fails, and most oft there where most it promises; and oft it hits where hope is coldest, and despair most fits.

“For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch”
