Shakespeare sightings:
- Stephen King uses the famous ‘More things in heaven and earth’ quote and his character Holly responds: ‘I guess Shakespeare said it best. He said pretty much everything best, I think.’ Good old Holly. At the end one of the characters reflects that, ‘Now the hurly-burley’s done, now the battle’s lost and won.’ Good old Stephen King.
