WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE SAID
William Shakespeare was an English
poet, playwright and actor. He was born on 23 April 1564 and passed away on the
same date in 1616. He wrote 39 plays, 154 sonnets, and several long poems. He
has added to the world’s literature an immortal thought on more than 330 subjects,
and has been deservedly called ‘A Poet Of Mankind’.
Here
