Thanks! I do appreciate a fine vocabulary.
Those book sales are a positive sign. I hope the message penetrates the ennui.

To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause.
Hamlet (3.1.64-98) Shakespeare
My favorite though, is the speech from 'Henry V', St. Crispin's Day. We need one like him, here, now.

There is a wonderful Shakespeare company about an hour away, which we attend a performance from every year.
