As other hereabouts may know, I'm in to signed languages, ASL in 
particular, which also happens not to have the copula "to be."  A 
while back, I saw a production of "Ophelia," a re-written "Hamlet" 
from Ophelia's perspective.  She did the famous "to be or not..." 
speech, and she signed it as "To live or to die, that...," which, is 
the best __interpretation__ I think I've ever heard.
