Shakespeare's quote, as originally written, "All that __________ is not gold," would be completed with the word, "glisters."
It was interesting to see, while looking at Shakespeare portraits, that he is often depicted with an earring in his left ear--I had made similar searches a few times but had not noticed that detail.
Today's Question:
Name the poem with this first verse: "'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves / Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: / All mimsy were the borogroves, / And the mome raths outgrabe."
I am drawing a blank on this one.
