Well put.
Well, amazingly, there is a contingent who have voiced their preference for West Side Story. I guess it’s not as clear-cut as I thought. To me, the beauty of Shakespeare’s writing is unmatched anywhere in English literature, but the King James Bible hearkens back to the same poetic and refined use of the written word. I love the KJV, and if there are places where the translation is not as good as modern interpretations, we can put asterisks there and see what the original Greek or Hebrew said, while still enjoying the majesty of the KJV.
