Okay, so, Shakespeare was basically the father of English awesomeness, right? Well, he'd also created some expressions that we even use today. Here are some interesting ones:
“Into thin air” - Into thin air meant that something or someone had vanished without leaving any hint or clue where they have gone. (Just POOF. Gone.)
“crack of doom” - Crack of doom meant a crack of thunder signaling evil or a bad omen. (Well, duh. The expression was pretty self-explanatory.)
“heart of hearts” -Heart of hearts meant "in the depths of your heart" (Oh wow. I mean, why love?)
“mind’s eye” - Mind's eye meant a human's ability to look through someone metaphorically for visualization. (Ooh! Shakespeare has X-ray vision!)
