I thought Hamlet too, but more "What a piece of work is a bear, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties, in form and moving how express and admirable, in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god! the beauty of the world, the paragon of animals"
There was a "Shakesbear" macro of this floating around Facebook, and I had a couple responses:
The bear that hath no honey in himself, Nor is not mov'd with conquest of sweet hives, Is fit company for ravens and squirrels; The motions of his spirit are dull as rock, And his affections dark as winter's cave: Let no such bear be trusted.—Eat your honey.
and:
Is this a salmon which I see before me, Leaping toward my jaw? Come, let me nom thee. I eat thee not, and yet thou leapest still. Art thou not, tasty salmon, sensible To nomming as to sight? or art thou but A salmon of the mind, a false creation of the hibernation-oppressed brain?
