But the poet of them all, Who will start 'em simply ravin', Is the poet people call The Bard of Stratford on Avon - Brush up your Shakespeare, Start quoting him now, Brush up your Shakespeare And the women you will wow ... - from Kiss Me Kate, music and lyrics by Cole Porter

William Shakespeare turned 445 in April, and he's not showing his age one bit.

With the possible exception of the guys who wrote the Bible, Shakespeare is history's most quoted author.

And Barry Edelstein, who has directed the Bard's works for New York's "Shakespeare in the Park" series (among other venues), quotes him more than most.
