In reply to Christine West. .... Do you mean 405 years? Pretty sure it is 2021, not 2121.

Ooops – meant to question 600! 1616 – 2121 – five hundred and five years since Shakespeare’s death.

“where the wild thyme blows” should be translated as “where the wild thyme flowers” or “where the wild thyme blossoms.” It is not wild thyme blowing in the breeze. https://www.dictionary.com/browse/blow#:~:text=verb%20(used%20with%20or%20without,blossom%20or%20cause%20to%20blossom.

Victor Jory was terrific in this scene. Having the dvd I watch the movie a couple of times a year. In this speech it almost comes across as a song..

In reply to Peter Mather. I do not think that Shakespeare used hateful to mean obscene. It was the pun in 'country matters ' that was obscene

They’ll tire of chicken sooner or later, and they’ll have to leave the comfort of the coops for the open bean fields. That’s when the episodes get good.

What wonderful language coming down to us over nearly six hundred years. Hateful is in fact obscene a frequent usage by Shakespeare as in “country matters”.
