		<description><![CDATA[ "Mortal coil" is a poetic term for the troubles of daily life and the strife and suffering of the world. As an expression, it most famously found in Hamlet’s soliloquy,

”To be or not to be,that is the question….

For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,

When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,

Must give us pause-there’s the respect

That makes calamity of so long life…….”]]></description>

plague;(n)any contagious disease that spreads rapidly and kills people;an unusually large number of insects or animals infesting a place and causing damage;a curse.

Our crazy dreadful 21st Century times are not unknown in human history. The Bible’s Book of Exodus is replete with plagues sent against the Egyptians, poisoning of the waters of the River Nile with blood; a plague of frogs; a plague of gnats; a plague of flies and the plague of boils to name a few as punishment sent from God. In the early 1600s plague closed the playhouses in England including Shakepeare’s Globe Theatre. Shakespeare was no doubt drawing on his experience with the plague to write in Romeo and Juliet the dying Mercutio’s damning curse,” A Plague on both your Houses”.]]></description>
