IN “As You Like It”, Shakespeare says there are ‘tongues in trees, books in running brooks and sermons in stones.”
Honeymooners touring the Highlands on a glorious summer day would probably agree with Shakespeare. But one wonders what the tongues would say if a falling tree killed one of them, or how the book might read if one drowned in a brook. One wonders also what Goliath might have made of the sermon in stone, when the stone hit him square in the middle of the forehead.
