    They flattered
    me like a dog; and told me I had white hairs in my
    beard ere the black ones were there. To say 'ay'
    and 'no' to every thing that I said!--'Ay' and 'no'
    too was no good divinity. When the rain came to
    wet me once, and the wind to make me chatter; when
    the thunder would not peace at my bidding; there I
    found 'em, there I smelt 'em out. Go to, they are
    not men o' their words: they told me I was every
    thing; 'tis a lie, I am not ague-proof.

    King Lear
    Act 4. Scene VI

  • If there were reason for these miseries,
    Then into limits could I bind my woes:
    Give way to nature ...

    Why such is love's transgression.
    Griefs of mine own lie heavy in my breast;
    Which thou wilt propogate, to have it prest
    With more of thine: this love, that thou hast shown,
    Doth add more grief to too much of mine own.
    Love is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs;
    Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes;
    Being vext, a sea nourisht with lovers' tears;
    What is it else? a madness most discreet,
    A choking gall, and a preserving sweet.
    We’ll meet again, but not yet…not yet.

    When to the sessions of sweet silent thought
    I summon up remembrance of things past,
    I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought.

  • Am I on drugs or has your name changed yet again? :eek:


    I would be "a tale /Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,/Signifying nothing", of course. ;)


    very fine.

    yet?--now that's an awful shame!

    i haven't read all of J.C., or much Shakespeare beyond a bunch of now forgotten sonnets for that matter.. his greatness corrupts my originality, but perhaps someday.....

    You taught me language; and my profit on't
    Is, I know how to curse. The red plague rid you
    For learning me your language!

    "Thou know'st the mask of night is on my face,
    Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek
    For that which thou hast heard me speak to-night
    Fain would I dwell on form, fain, fain deny
    What I have spoke: but farewell compliment!
    Dost thou love me? I know thou wilt say 'Ay,'
    And I will take thy word: yet if thou swear'st,
    Thou mayst prove false; at lovers' perjuries
    Then say, Jove laughs. O gentle Romeo,
    If thou dost love, pronounce it faithfully:
    Or if thou think'st I am too quickly won,
    I'll frown and be perverse an say thee nay,
    So thou wilt woo; but else, not for the world.
    In truth, fair Montague, I am too fond,
    And therefore thou mayst think my 'havior light:
    But trust me, gentleman, I'll prove more true
    Than those that have more cunning to be strange.
    I should have been more strange, I must confess,
    But that thou overheard'st, ere I was ware,
    My true love's passion: therefore pardon me,
    And not impute this yielding to light love,
    Which the dark night hath so discovered."

    Love looks not with the eyes but with the mind.
    If I could be anything in the world I would be your teardrop...I would be born in your eyes, live on your cheeks, and die on your lips.

    ... we defy augury: there's a special
    providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now,
    'tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be
    now; if it be not now, yet it will come: the
    readiness is all: since no man has aught of what he
    leaves, what is't to leave betimes?

    I have had a dream, past the wit of man to say what dream it was: man is but an ass, if he go about to expound this dream.

    -- Bottom :D
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green
