Good points Gillian, although one might argue that the ambience of Sh's
plays is essentially Christian, although I wouldn't necessarily be the
person to do so. But I prefer the take of Isaiah Berlin: Shakespeare was a
real fox.

Shakespeare
Drag yr mouldy old bones
Up these stairs & tell me
What you died of,
I think
I've got it
Too.
