From Henry the Fifth

Piece out our imperfections with your thoughts;

    Prologue, Henry V, line 23

Love the prologue to that play, one of the best versions? Done by Derek Jacobi for the Kenneth Branagh film version of the play. Overcoat, swings open the doors to the a stage — and as perfect of a delivery of those ones as possible.

When I hear it? I think of that version.

Piece out our imperfections with your thoughts;

What I was thinking, should be in front of all my horoscopes.

“Piece out our imperfections with your thoughts;”

Easy enough, right?
