Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night

Good questions. Oxford brought the Italian style to England, what is called ‘the English Renaissance’.

HHH and Catholic Will

The triple H is the German professor Hildegard Hammerschmidt-Hummel. She’s one of us, BUT she is a believer in Catholic Shakespeare.
