where does the phrase upstart crow come from
Upstart Crow Upstart Crow is a British sitcom which premiered on 9 May 2016 at 10pm on BBC Two[1] as part of the commemorations of the 400th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare. Its title quotes "an upstart Crow, beautified with our feathers", a critique of Shakespeare by his rival Robert Greene in the latter's Groats-Worth of Wit.[2]
Turtles all the way down The exact origin of the phrase "turtles all the way down" is uncertain. In the form "rocks all the way down", the saying appears as early as 1838.[1] References to the saying's mythological antecedents, the World Turtle and its counterpart the World Elephant, were made by a number of authors in the 17th and 18th centuries.[2][3] This mythology is frequently assumed to have originated in Hindu India. The final form of the saying is still well known and can be found in a variety of modern contexts.
