Beware the IDES of March : is an expression significantly. It briefly, I have to ominous tone and a sense of the supernatural. Unfortunately, it is also often misunderstood. Most people know that they are connected one way or another to Shakespeare. But what the heck is Ed anyway, and where can I buy one?
So here’s a primer: – The quote comes from Act I, Scene 2 of Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar”, as the leader of the Roman standing amid a crowd of people and heard a warning from the seer. (When I read this I can not portray the U.S. president to lay siege to walk towards his helicopter, and TV correspondent Sam Donaldson shouting and screaming some questions about the embarrassing scandal.) Here’s the exchange:
Caesar: Who is in the press that calls me?
I hear shriller tongue of all the music
Cry of “Caesar”! Speech, and Caesar is turn’d to hear.
Fortune-teller: Beware of mid-March.
- What that portends? This is the day in 44 BCE. Caesar to be assassinated by the conspirators, including Brutus and Cassius. Caesar cares warning and heads off on his political career. If the recliner only, and DVDs and TVs invented then.
- That’s what Ed? It’s an old Romanian calendar, which shows a division based on phases of the moon. It is located on the 15th of March, May, July and October, but on the 13th of other months.
