Conundrum: Ars Magna
Tuesday, June 12th, 2007Via the Shakespeare Geek, we find an “amazing anagram” (which I have to say I never bothered to check):
To be or not to be: that is the question, whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.
Becomes:
In one of the Bard’s best-thought-of tragedies, our insistent hero, Hamlet, queries on two fronts about how life turns rotten.
That anagram has inspired this week’s Conundrum!
What well-known Shakespearean phrases can be anagramed from the following?
- Tall Worthless Adage
- Icky Backwashes Uncrowned Lord
- Haberdasher Elf Slots Low Motto
- Embrace Incoherent Hoot
- Many Mourned Scorn Snifter
By the way, ShakespeareTeacher.com anagrams out to Search Peacemaker Ethos. I think that’s appropriate.
UPDATE: Anagram 2 solved by Annalisa. See comments for all answers.
