Blog Name

Today I'm supposed to tell you about the meaning of my blog name.

Simple.

I created this blog (well, the original one) right before I moved to Oxford.

***Side-note: it's a bit crazy that it was nearly four years ago.***

I was looking up some poetry about England and found a great speech from Richard II.

This royal throne of kings, this scepter'd isle,
This earth of Majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise;
This fortress built by Nature for herself,
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall,
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands;
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England,
This nurse, this teeming womb of royal kings,
Fear'd by their breed, and famous by their birth.

That was it. It was perfect. And that's where I got my blog name.

Also, this is perfect. Patrick Stewart and Ben Wishaw? No better! If only if it were the above speech!
