yesterday, I spent most of the morning reading Cliff's Notes on Hamlet and All The King's Men, just to see if what I had interpreted was standard stuff. I enjoyed reading what other people thought, though of course this was only enjoyable because I read and re-read and thought and re-thought much upon the subject before. (yes, I know you should never use a preposition to end a sentence with.) I was interested to know that there was a Neo-Freudian interpretation in Hamlet, (popularized in the 1940s) because, as they pointed out, wouldn't you be mad at the guy who killed your dad and married your mom because you wanted to? If not, you obviously have not been enlightened by Freud who would have freed your repressed psyche (or sorry, id). Anyway, I don't see how reading Cliff's Notes before the book helps much, because theories and interpretations can be boring.
However, I confess I continue to be so fascinated analysing, that even I get tired of thought-dissecting. Let art be art! (if only we knew what it was.)

About Me
"speak the Word, even if we cannot hear"
joseph
job 13
Will you speak falsely for God
and speak deceitfully for him?
Will you show partiality toward him?
Will you plead the case for God?
Will it be well with you when he searches you out?
Or can you deceive him, as one deceives a man?
He will surely rebuke you
if in secret you show partiality.
Will not his majesty terrify you,
and the dread of him fall upon you?
Your maxims are proverbs of ashes;
your defenses are defenses of clay.

As for prophecies,
they will pass away;
as for tongues,
they will cease;
as for knowledge,
it will pass away.
For we know in part
and we prophesy in part,
but when the perfect comes,
the partial will pass away.
When I was a child,
I spoke like a child,
I thought like a child,
I reasoned like a child.
When I became a man,
I gave up childish ways.
For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then we shall see face to face.
Now I know in part;
then I shall know fully,
even as I have been fully known.

Lord's day
Then I turned to see the voice
that was speaking to me,
and on turning I saw
seven golden lampstands,
and in the midst of the lampstands
one like a son of man,
clothed with a long robe
and with a golden sash around his chest.
The hairs of his head were white,
like white wool, like snow.
His eyes were like a flame of fire,
his feet were like burnished bronze,
refined in a furnace,
and his voice was like the roar of many waters.
In his right hand he held seven stars,
from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword,
and his face was like the sun shining in full strength.

Pater noster
qui est in cealis
Sanctificetur nomen tuum
Adveniat regnum tuum
Fiat voluntas tua sicut in caelo et in terra
Panem nostrum quotidianum
Da nobis hodie
Et dimitte nobis debita nostra
Sicut dimittimus debitoribus nostris
Et ne nos inducas in tentationem
Sed libera nos a malo.
Amen.

How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not!
