Everyone on the sonnet squad had to take the first line of a Shakespeare sonnet, change one word, and take it from there. For example, “The expense of spirits in a waste of shame” or “When in disgrace with fortune and men’s size” or “They that have the power to hunt and will do none.” Given just thirty minutes to do it, we were so lost in our labors that we failed to notice that the books on the shelves on the wall had all been replaced while we weren’t looking.
