“Now is the winter of our discontent Made glorious summer by this sun of York; And all the clouds that lour’d upon our house In the deep bosom of the ocean buried. Now are out brows bound with victorious wreaths; Our bruised arms hung up for monuments; Our stern alarums changed to merry meetings, Our dreadful marches to delightful measures. Grim-visage war hath smooth’d his wrinkled front.” - King Richard III [with help from William Shakespeare] (born: 2 October 1452)

"Now is the winter of our discontent/ Made glorious summer by this sun of York;/ And all the clouds that lour'd upon our house/ In the deep bosom of the ocean buried./ Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths;/ Our bruised arms hung up for monuments;/ Our stern alarums changed to merry meetings,/ Our dreadful marches to delightful measures./ Grim-visaged war hath smooth'd his wrinkled front."
- William Shakespeare, Richard III
