Change to “The Fault lies not in our stars, but in ourselves.”
Have someone please check this with a definitive source; I have now seen it written both ways!
I found this folio facsimile page (use kk2r in the goto box, lines 14-15 on page 111), which has it
"The fault (deere Brutus) is not in our Starres,
but in our Selves, that we are underlings."

Most of the versions I've seen include "dear Brutus," but that's probably not important--as even the folio edition has it in parentheses.


Are you still mulling over the thing about the precession and the calendar? I'm pretty sure that's wrong.

Also, I think I gave enough good reasons in this thread that on p.70, ""The time of high and low tides changes every day by about a half hour," should read "The time of each high and low tide is later every day by about an hour."
