It was lovely, until I dropped off the face of the planet. Noah’s first article on the subject was a response [...]

Objectivity: Dangers and Necessity

by Spencer Daniel

What is the first line of Love’s Labours Won?  We have evidence that this lost labor of Shakespeare’s once existed, but we have little idea of what it said.  So, is there even an answer to my question?  Does the question even make sense?
