William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare

If I be false, or swerve a hair from truth, when time is old and hath forgot itself, when waterdrops have worn the stones of Troy, and blind oblivion swallowed cities up, and mighty states characterless are grated to dusty nothing, yet let memory, from false to false, among false maids in love, upbraid my falsehood!
William Shakespeare

Weariness can snore upon the flint when resting sloth finds the down pillow hard.
William Shakespeare
The big round tears Cours'd one another down his innocent nose, In piteous chase.
William Shakespeare
I am giddy, expectation whirls me round. The imaginary relish is so sweet That it enchants my sense.

I pardon him, as God shall pardon me.
William Shakespeare
