Re Meika’s comment let me add : Hamlet is deep layered and I realized the line ‘rest is silence.’ has a deeper meaning than when I read it first time. When young you are full of sweet nothings and your partner finds it heady and thrilling. But when old in years and marriage where did those chatter go? More silence than words. Virginia was right.

I was 63 when I got my two books in print. Writing when young was merely getting used to the ink on my finger. With somewhat mature and in reasonably good health I find I do have something to tell. Tell by golly, I will.

So how does this compare Virginia Wolf’s view on Hamlet meaning all those different things to the different times of your life? Except what The Tempest means of course.
