Image
That skull had a tongue in it, and could sing once: how the knave jowls it to the ground, as if it were Cain's jaw-bone, that did the first murder! It might be the pate of a politician, which this ass now o'er-reaches one that would circumvent God, might it not?

Tis not a year or two shows us a man: They are all but stomachs, and we all but food They eat us hungerly, and when they are full They belch us.
William Shakespeare
Image
Then to Silvia let us sing that Silvia is excelling. She excels each mortal thing upon the dull earth dwelling.
William Shakespeare
Image
Is this a dagger which I see before me, The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee. I have thee not, and yet I see thee still. Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible To feeling as to sight? or art thou but A dagger of the mind, a false creation, Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain?
William Shakespeare
Image
Pastime passing excellent, if it he husbanded with modesty.
William Shakespeare
Image
The latter end of a fray, and the beginning of a feast, Fits a dull fighter, and a keen guest.
William Shakespeare
Image
Absence doth sharpen love, presence strengthens it the one brings fuel, the other blows it till it burns clear.
William Shakespeare
Image
I take thee at thy word: Call me but love, and I'll be new baptized Henceforth I never will be Romeo.
