This guy knew how to work the words!

And since you know you cannot see yourself,
so well as by reflection, I, your glass,
will modestly discover to yourself,
that of yourself which you yet know not of.
- William Shakespeare

Having said that, it should be noted that W.S. apparently used more than 28,000 (that is, twenty eight thousand) unique word ‘forms’. It’s either a brilliant move by a genius or a shortcut by a dimwit… can’t think of the right word? Hey, why not make something up?!

The quoted lines above don’t contain any inventions by the author though, so those still stand on their own merit!
