How I Have Given... Maxine Hong Kingston

"Venus and Mars" by Titian

My Dear Maxine, Getting back to work I found an interesting item--something about Shakespeare's use of classical mythology, his relying on memory, not *text*; in Seneca's *On Benefits* (vi.3), the line: "How I have given, that I still possess!" (a poet's use, attributed to Marc Antony)... From, Thomas Francis Noonan
