Richard Kennedy writes, "Hamlet, of course, is a perfect anagram for
Amleth."
This is an anagram?

Comment: RE: SHK 16.1602 Caliban's Father
Joseph Egert advises that I "unleash Ariel." You're probably right that
I'm too tied to worrying about what's likely, to weighing evidence and
testing logic, and not open enough to the bliss of freeplay.
SHAKSPER apparently has room for all sorts of temperaments and
approaches, from those exposing a myriad of possibilities, however
unlikely many of them are; to those tracking down evidence and trying to
focus on the most relevant and fecund among the possibilities; to those
certain they've found the one true reading (sometimes, in the view of
many, stretching evidence and logic to or beyond the breaking point); to
those who specialize in mocking and mystifying. I happily support the
motto "Let a thousand flowers bloom." But we don't all have to be the
same kind of flower.
Thanks for prompting me to reflect on my own habitual approach. I'll
think really hard about trying to loosen up a bit.

P.S.: Before unleashing Ariel, acknowledging Caliban as mine, drowning
my book, and turning every third thought to death, I thought I'd note
that, in my previous posting, besides SEER, I also forgot to mention
about 40 other anagrammatic revelations within Joseph's name, including
STOP and GET ROPE. I find that many of the anagrams within my own name
overlap with Joseph's, but among the more unsettling of those that do
not are BORE, UURONG (that's with a double u), BE, and GONE. It appears
that whoever named me was trying to tell me something.
