> IOW, brevity's wit's soul.

Well-spoken, dear Polonius. But better to
Adorn the soul of wit so briefly put to us.

"My liege, and madam, to expostulate
What majesty should be, what duty is,
Why day is day, night is night, and time is time.
Were nothing but to waste night, day, and time.
Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit,
And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes,
I will be brief. Your noble son is mad."

--the Bard
