St Crispin's Day

[ndicki]

Is today. Just thought you might like to be reminded...

"And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered,
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day."


Henry V, Act IV, Scene III

"Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars.
And say 'These wounds I had on Crispin's day.' "

No sooner had I seen this than I went scolling through the tv guide and learned that I had missed Kenneth Branagh's Henry V uninterrupted.

I'm not sure whether it was serendipitous or the REEL channel actually realized the correlation between the calendar and the play.
