Stand, and Unfold Yourself

I love this line from Shakespeare, which seems like it would be a good quote to have up on a wall in an English class, or to read to students before you ask them to do some good, thoughtful, exploratory writing. It's a short quote that comes at the very beginning of Hamlet. Francisco enters and says to Bernardo, "Stand, and unfold yourself."

Isn't that a cool quote? Maybe a teacher could ask the students to stand and unfold themselves in their writing, throughout the year.

Or, as my professor wrote: "It is about moving away from a sleepy, protective posture of being folded up, or folded into oneself, and moving toward a tall, open, awake, graceful stance."
