Indeed there be.
But ye'll be needing to know the old ways of speaking the mother
tongue to really get his drift, oft enough, I'll be bound.

There's some very clever stuff buried therein.

We sought out (Macbeth/Macduff's)  Birnam Wood* in Scotland.
There is, they say, but one tree left. It was very large and looked
suitably old.
Photos were taken.
Mayhaps the others all went to Dunsinane?
It was amazingly impressive meeting that tree, even though it was only
a story that was being remembered.
