Classical Quotes

	"So high our dragons soared into the air
  	 that looking down the earth appeared to me
	 no bigger than my hand in quantity"

				- Christopher Marlowe's  "Doctor Faustus"

	"With just one hand
	 held up high -
	 I can blot you out"

				- The Excellent Kate  "Hello Earth"



Any connection?  Kate quoted Shakespeare in "Blow Away" (and not a really
famous quote, either), and I thought I remembered reading her say that
she admired Marlowe and Elizabethan drama.

Just a thought.
