” Like sweet bells

jangled out of tune and harsh.” This could be a hard one. Two points for who wrote it, two points from which work, and three points for

what the quote means.

  1. So are the days of our lives? how many neg.points for this?

  2. I don’t know on the author or works, but, it seems to me to mean that the best laid plans can go South very suddenly, or something that is too good to be true is just that…..

  3. #3 by huskysooner

    I’m pretty sure it’s Shakespeare. It rings a bell (har har), but I don’t remember which work.

  4. Two points to HS for Shakespeare and five negative points to J.J. ( You’ve got a long way to go to catch MR)

    I thought the quote would have made a great line in a song, esp if you know the context……which comes from one of Will’s most famous. Guess on, oh bloggers.

  5. You are sneaky, Anon!…… I was going to say the Bart-boy, BUT, you said it might be a hard one, so, I stupidly thought it couldn’t be that easy…… So I’m going to guess it came from “Ham-o-lot”……

  6. I don’t know, but if you say it with a pirate accent it sounds pretty cool.

    “Like sweet bells jangled out of tune and harsh like, arr”

    So how many of you said it out loud and then looked around to make sure no one heard you? arr…

  7. Good one Izard. I’ll run with your pirate theme and go with “The Twelve Night”.

    I need Tarn to poke me in the eye in order to do a pirate voice. Arrr indeed.

  8. Hamlet is correct MR not Ham-o-lot. I’m torn. Should I ruin your run of negative points and give you positive points or penalize you double negative points for Ham-o-lot?

    Arr me sezs, sezs I……now for the hard part me buckos….arr….what be the meaning of jangled bells.

  9. Bells played out of tune and, umm, harsh? Either that or it’s the opposite of jingled bells…like when you swing em the other way.

  10. Looks like it’s time for a hint. Consider the play and that the quote is a simile. What’s “out of tune”?

  11. Here’s my chance – “A Fish outta Tuna”…… Negative points please….. Thank you……

  12. Would it be the voice of his Dad’s ghost?

    BTW, we’ll miss you in Ashland this year. Is this how your making up for it? Shakespeare quizzes?

  13. Jeez, a fish outta tuna? That’s bad enough for -10.

    Jek, not dad’s ghost.

    BTW, to everyone in Ashland, don’t forget to wear your hats to the outdoor theater. Remember that bird that crapped on my head last year, he still lurks the theater like Yorick’s ghost. (another simile)

    And just who was this Yorick? Two extra points. Do you know him?

  14. answer……bells jangled out of tune and hash…….a deranged mind.

    Yorick…….”alas, poor Yorick. i knew him well.” the king’s jester….came to bad ends. the scull in the play.

    notice….educational quizz will be down 6 to 8 weeks. i broke my finger. painful to type and its affected my spelling. everything comes out bitch, bitch, bitch. later.

  15. Do I have permission to “fill-in” with a special MRambler version of “De-Educational Quiz’s” where stupidity reigns?……

  16. Education deconstructed…to undue the harm I’ve done? it’s the right thing to do.
