Wow. Great poem and commentary. I like the idea of memorizing it. Not sure my short-term can handle that, but it's worth a try. I still enjoy rolling around those lines I was forced to memorize in high school. "The quality of mercy is not strained...", and "Water, water everywhere and all the boards did shrink...". This poem is so multi-faceted and speaks to so much in the human heart. It has something for anyone. I do love it, as well as the thoughtful commentary. Thank you, again.
