About

Hubble Bubble is called Hubble Bubble because of a poem by Shakespeare.

In the famous play, Hamlet, three witches dance around a boiling cauldron, as they add ghastly ingredients to a truly horrible concoction and sing (or croak) the words “Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and caldron bubble” 

I recently needed to start having Chemotherapy, and my imagination took me to the three witches as a possible source of chemotherapy chemicals.

So, I joined the witches in their song with my own words … Hubble Bubble, toil and trouble … and so on.  

And that’s why the Hubble Bubble logo is what it is …

Hubble Bubble (chemotherapy) can be an extremely tough experience

Tough times need a positive attitude, and the Hubble Bubble blog is all about that.

Hopefully contributors to the blog will share the ways that they’ve managed to stay positive.

We wish everyone positivity 🙂

Here’s the full witchy poem from Macbeth …

Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn and caldron bubble.

Fillet of a fenny snake,

In the caldron boil and bake;

Eye of newt and toe of frog,

Wool of bat and tongue of dog,

Adder’s fork and blind-worm’s sting,

Lizard’s leg and howlet’s wing,

For a charm of powerful trouble,

Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn and caldron bubble.

Cool it with a baboon’s blood,

Then the charm is firm and good.

Yum!
