Aside, aside! Here is more matter for a hot brain. Every lane’s end, every shop, church, session, hanging, yields a careful man work.

AUTOLYCUS

First Shakespeare quote. Did not expect it to come from Autolycus.

He may be one of Shakespeare’s most overlooked characters. He’s not a name that stood out on the roster of characters in The Winter’s Tale, but drives so much of the story in later acts of the play.
