The Ides of March

“Well, the Ides of March are come,” said Caesar; and the seer said to him softly: “Ay, they are come, but they are not gone.”
Previous to Bill’s rendering of Caesar’s demise, the Ides were simply the 15th or 13th of the month, but the soothsayer’s infamous words “Beware the Ides of March” have changed the meaning for us forever.
