Shakespeare

Did you know that Shakespeare uses the eagle as a symbol of strength and patriotism more than 30 times in his various dramas? For instance, in The Tragedy of Julius Caesar the mighty eagles abandon Brutus and Cassius as they journey toward their evil deeds. And, when the two conspirators die on the battlefield, the eagles live on. Despite the evil that overpowers certain mortals in Shakespeare's plays, the power of the human spirit always rises again.

Math and science make us smart; literature makes us wise.
