I’ll burn my books!

Cut is the branch that might have grown full straight, And burned is Apollo’s laurel bough, That sometime grew within this learned man.

Christopher Marlowe

1564-02-06 — 1593-05-30 · Cantuária

Christopher Marlowe (baptised 26 February 1564 – 30 May 1593) was an English playwright, poet and translator of the Elizabethan era. Marlowe is the foremost of the short-lived generation of playwrights who were Shakespeare's contemporaries. He was the greatest tragedian of his day and, along with William Shakespeare, was one of the few English playwrights of the period to gain a reputation for both great dramatic skill and literary merit.
