I have thought about this line for many years<\/p>\n
I am trying to gather the meaning<\/p>\n
Who said it<\/p>\n
Hamlet<\/p>\n
What was his meaning<\/p>\n
I believe he was speaking of total annihilation<\/p>\n
He considers that death offers him the relief he craves<\/p>\n
He stops speaking and contemplates his approaching death<\/p>\n
What kills him<\/p>\n
Poison<\/p>\n
Claudius and Laertes plan to kill Hamlet during a fencing match<\/p>\n
But both Hamlet and Laetres are fatally poisoned during the match<\/p>\n
Yet before he dies Hamlet kills Claudius<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Why are we discussing Hamlet<\/p>\n
Because you asked me about the final line of my final poem<\/p>\n
Its ending will be borrowed from Hamlet<\/p>\n
The Rest is Silence\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n And then I will cease writing Jane<\/p>\n <\/p>\n What will you do Stan<\/p>\n I might visit bus shelters around the country<\/p>\n Bus shelters interest me greatly<\/p>\n As they vary so much<\/p>\n Or I will visit garages<\/p>\n Garages that are located in beautiful locations<\/p>\n There are two near here<\/p>\n One on a hill with sea and railway views<\/p>\n And another that backs onto a tidal bay<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Stan have you taken something<\/p>\n I am clean<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Is this why you write poetry<\/p>\n Please explain<\/p>\n Poetry takes me everywhere and nowhere<\/p>\n I travel through time and into infinity<\/p>\n I am everywhere and nowhere<\/p>\n I am the silence and the apocalypse<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Stan is it dark in there<\/p>\n Where<\/p>\n Up your own arse<\/p>\n I do not know as I have never visited it<\/p>\n But I suspect that it is dark<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Stan have you ever thought about taking up fencing<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Stan and Jane\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have thought about this line for many years I am trying to gather the meaning Who said it Hamlet What was his meaning I believe he was speaking of total annihilation He considers that death offers him the relief he craves He stops speaking and contemplates his approaching death What kills him Poison Claudius […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12178","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12178","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12178"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12178\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12228,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12178\/revisions\/12228"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12178"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12178"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stuartmillerosborne.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12178"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
