Here I was reading an article about Shakespeare from Project Gutenberg by Mark Twain and did not know what “capricious” meant. Twain does not believe Shakespeare wrote the works of Shakespeare, especially given how poorly written (yet documented to be authored by him) was his own epitaph. Project Gutenberg contains writings that are in the public domain. (That’s free books, mom.)
