Ever so sweetly flow his timeless declarations,
Like the cascading brook, its waters to the sea,
The robust but mellow verse of our bard of Avon.
However much we imbibe his immortal words, this
Thirst for lucid and memorable phrase could never be
Slaked nor ever our hunger for meaty thought be sated.
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
Hamlet
Hi Coco - good ol' Hamlet...I'm doing a Shakespeare in Performance module at Uni currently (as a very mature student lol) and watched the National Theatre's production of it last week...

Excellent, Loz! !
How wonderful and thanks for sharing.
If you have a favorite Shakespeare quotation, please feel free to post it here.
Break a leg, O worthy Thespius!
CoCo in the Wings
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
MACBETH
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
MACBETH
Thank you, Miss Ann!
I was trying to remember the introduction to what I had written above.
Away, away to gauzy dreamland,
The bard's precious verse united,
Breezing about my little slumber.
Gratefully,
CoCo
I wonder what you think?
Being in 'love' makes your mind expand.
"If you have a favorite Shakespeare quotation, please feel free to post it here."
I absolutely love Shakespeare.
By all the vows that ever men have broke,
In number more than ever women spoke,
In that same place thou hast appointed me,
To-morrow truly will I meet with thee.
(Midsummer Night's Dream)
I pray you, in your letters,
When you shall these unlucky deeds relate,
Speak of me as I am; nothing extenuate,
Nor set down aught in malice. Then must you speak
Of one that lov'd not wisely but too well;
Of one not easily jealous, but being wrought,
Perplex'd in the extreme. . .
(Othello)
"This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man."
(Hamlet)
Julius Caesar, Act 3, Scene 2
Marc Antony:
"Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him;
The evil that men do lives after them,
The good is oft interred with their bones,
So let it be with Caesar ..."
The Merchant of Venice, Act 1, Scene 3
Antonio:
"Mark you this, Bassanio,
The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose.
An evil soul, producing holy witness,
Is like a villain with a smiling cheek,
A goodly apple rotten at the heart
O, what a goodly outside falsehood hath!"
