"Sleep that Knits Up the Ravelled Sleeve of Care"

       "Sleep that knits up the ravelled sleeve of care."

       Thank you, Miss Anderson, for having us memorize those "spot passages" from Shakespeare.

       And we had to memorize them.  Each week, we'd go one by one up to her desk, sit by it, and while other students were studying, recite to her quietly the "passage of the week."

       Today, napping after a lousy, losing game of feeble tennis, lost against the winds and better players across the net, I feel my two-hour nap healing my aching body and soul for the pains of the game, for DST's extraction of an hour, and for a hectic week to boot!
