BOX OF PARTS. "In his book The Descent of Man, first published in 1871, Darwin listed a large number of human “parts in a rudimentary condition”, being body structures that are either “absolutely useless” or “they are of such slight service” owing to the fact that the conditions under which they evolved no longer exist." https://lnkd.in/dxYb-Qh View in LinkedIn

"THE FOREST OF ARDEN simultaneously was a very special place, fancifully mixed with exotic and incredible features. Is the Forest of Arden identical with Nature?" (Arden, from Archadia, the Greek mythological earthly paradise, and from Eden, a contrast to corrupted courtly or city life). https://lnkd.in/dNa6zAM View in LinkedIn

NOT PERFECT. "Now I am in Arden, the more fool I. When I was at home, I was in a better place, but travellers must be content." (Touchstone to Rosalind, in As You Like It, by WS). https://lnkd.in/dDMTAPP View in LinkedIn

"It is as though Shakespeare, setting out for Arden, where so many excellent poets have lost themselves in affected sentiment, mislaid their common sense in refining on their sensibility, and, in their self-conscious pursuit of nature, found themselves grasping a pale misfeatured shadow, had determined in advance to take with them a guide who should keep him in the path of sanity." (As You Like It, WS). https://lnkd.in/dDMTAPP View in LinkedIn

THE COMIC TEST. "The character of Touchstone in Shakespeare's As You Like It, described as "a wise fool who acts as a kind of guide or point of reference throughout the play, putting everyone, including himself, to the comic test"." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touchstone_(metaphor) View in LinkedIn
