| "When King Lear dies in act five, do you know what shakespeare had written? He's written 'He dies.'That's all, nothing more, no fanfare, no metaphor, no brilliant final words. The culmination of the most influential work of dramatic literature is; 'He dies.' It takes Shakespeare, a genius, to come up with 'He dies.' And I know it's only natural to be sad, but not because of the words; 'He dies.', but because of the life we saw prior to those words. I've lived all five of my acts, Mahoney, and I am not asking you to be happy that I must go. I'm only asking that you turn the page, continue reading, and let the next story begin. And if anyone asks what became of me, you relate my life in all it's wonder, and end it with a simple and modest 'He died.'" |
