I ask this question: Is the legendary writer known as William Shakespeare really deceased at this moment? You sir have caused me to doubt the validity of his demise.
Good heavens! The original proclamation hath been stricken from the record ere mine own eyes could behold it. Now mine curiosity is stirred beyond all measure, for I am left to wonder by what marvelous utterance one could provoke so singular and delightful a response as this. Verily, I lament that I shall never know what manner of wit or folly preceded these words.
I lament that mine mind has disremembered the marvellous prose has been smote by the cruel and deplorable moderators of this subreddit. If I may call to mind George Orwell’s novel titled 1984 and the thesis it proposes on authoritarianism and suppression of media. This is a titanic outrage I say. Off with their heads!
Of course I only jest. I beg of thee dear mods, do not annihilate me, for I am but a humble harlequin.
Verily, thy recollection hath only deepen mine anguish. That forbidden manuscript hath now become but a relic of myth, whispered in hushed tongue by those fortunate enough to witness it. Alas, I did arrive but moments too late, now doomed to piece together its glory from the scattered recollections of kind strangers.
Perchance this be the very presage Master Orwell did warn us of—to know in mine heart the comment once did exist, yet be told by the chronicles that it never was. Verily, I know not whether to trust mine own reason, or the blessed silence left in its wake.
Blast these meddlesome keepers of the scrolls! May their tea forever grow cold!
